On Thursday, Aug. 13, an open house to highlight the new addition to the State Bank of Toledo’s drive up facility is scheduled. The State Bank of Toledo opened the drive facility at 1003 S. County Road in 2003 as a way to further serve our growing customer’s needs and to cement our commitment to this community.

The bank staff wishes to thank the community for their success with an open house.

The open house will include an appreciation meal from 5 p.m. – 7 p.m. at the east end of our parking lot under a tent. In addition to the meal we are giving away over $1,000 in prizes and will have staff on hand to open accounts

When this facility’s opened, bank officials estimated serving 50-60 percent of our customer’s at this location. The past 12 years the bank has enjoyed tremendous growth. Added was over 2,500 sq. feet to the existing facility utilizing all local contractors and customers to complete this addition.

The added space has allowed moving Brian Sokol, Tama County Investment Services, to this location as well as office space to accommodate the growing loan support staff. Customers will continue to receive full services at the main bank location with a complete staff and are proud to be the only bank headquartered out of the Tama/Toledo area.
