The Pleasantville Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting ceremony and open house Friday for Peoples Bank, who celebrated opening their new location.

With the new location open, the old location in downtown Pleasantville was given to their next door neighbor, the clinic run by Knoxville Hospital and Clinics. Kevin Halterman with Peoples Bank tells KNIA/KRLS News it was a no-brainer to gift the property over because Peoples Bank wants to be a part of the community, and when Knoxville Hospital and Clinics wanted to expand their services to Pleasantville it seemed like the perfect time to do so. The new location is at 802 West Jasper Street, on the corner of Highway 5 and Highway G 40.
