(Nasdaq: PEBO), today announced expansion of its market presence in Parkersburg, West Virginia, with the upcoming opening of its fourth sales office in Wood County. Larry E. Holdren, President of Peoples Bank's Retail and Banking Division, commented, "Recently we purchased the property at 3411 Emerson Avenue that was the former site of the Broughton's Ice Cream Store and Restaurant. We are excited by the opportunities to fill customer needs on the north side of Parkersburg." Although remodeling plans are incomplete at this time, Holdren hopes the new Peoples Bank office will be open to customers in October, 2000. "The remodeling of the Emerson Avenue property gives us a chance to create a dynamic, retail-oriented sales office that will offer easy access to all our financial products and services," Holdren said. The Emerson Avenue office will also offer an ATM for 24-hour banking convenience. The Emerson Avenue location will complement Peoples Bank's sales office in the nearby Vienna Wal-Mart supercenter, which opened in mid-1999. "After reviewing many possible office sites in Parkersburg, we believe the Emerson Avenue location will be a good fit for our growing customer base in Wood County," said Holdren. "We anticipate that the many residents and businesses in north Parkersburg will view our full-service office as a great place for their financial service needs, from deposits to loans to insurance." Peoples Bank also has a full-service office at 2107 Pike Street in Parkersburg and in the recently opened Wal-Mart supercenter in the Patriot Center just south of Parkersburg.
