Construction of Leighton State Bank’s newest location is complete at 209 S. Lincoln in Knoxville, and doors are now open for business.
The full-service bank building replaces the temporary location on the Knoxville Square and offers a drive-up lane, exterior ATM, and safe deposit boxes in addition to the full range of deposit and loan products offered at the previous branch location.
“As a lifelong Knoxville community member, it is so exciting to see the growth in our community over the past two years. It has been such a wonderful experience to have been a part of Leighton State Bank’s expansion into the Knoxville Community. I am forever grateful to have been given the opportunity to be involved with the construction of our new building located at 209 S. Lincoln,” said Jim Baker, LSB Loan Officer and Knoxville native. “The opening of this new building will give our Knoxville staff, including myself, all the tools to serve this great community now and in the years to come. We are all excited for the future of Leighton State Bank, our customers, and the Knoxville community.”
“From its humble beginnings in 1911 to the present day, Leighton State Bank has taken great pride in
building relationships and delivering quality products and services to local customers. We seek to build and expand on our rich history to become a key player in providing capital and services in the Knoxville market,” said Steve Fopma, LSB President & CEO. “Our goal is to become a trusted partner in helping the greater Knoxville community prosper and thrive. I invite you to stop by and let us show you how we can grow strong together!”
A formal ribbon-cutting and grand opening celebration is being planned for October. Leighton State Bank has been a member of the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce since 2019. The Knoxville lobby hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm, and the drive-up is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Saturday appointments are available by request.
