Stockman Bank Plans For Continued Growth In Mondak Area

Stockman Bank recently committed to building a new full-service bank at 301 West Holly Street at the northwest corner of Holly and Third Avenue NW in Sidney.

Stockman purchased this slightly over three acre parcel from Don and Roger Byer in October 2013. Ground breaking on a new three-story building is set for mid-2015. The anticipated completion date is in 2016. Plans are still in the developmental stages for the new state-of-the-art banking facility that follows the design of other Stockman Bank buildings across Montana. It will be equipped with a 24 hour ATM, night drop, and a spacious multi-lane drive-up that will be large enough to pull a trailer through to better serve our area farmers, ranchers, and trades people. The main entry will be all glass with high ceilings allowing for the second floor atrium to overlook the lobby. More importantly, this new location will provide adequate parking for customers, employees and guests.

"Stockman has been committed to the MonDak area for decades and we're excited to further our commitment by building a larger facility to continue serving the financial needs of our growing community," comments Garth Kallevig, President of Stockman Bank Sidney. "With the extensive growth in agriculture, medical, professional, retail and energy production in our area, we feel this expansion is another example of our continual commitment to Richland County and the surrounding areas."

In addition to the new banking facility, Stockman plans to keep their existing drive-up location at 120 2nd Street SW to conveniently serve their customers in central downtown Sidney. At this time, Stockman Bank will stay in their main bank on the corner of Main Street and Central Avenue until the new facility is open. Stockman will then assess their needs and options at that time, and decide what to do with their existing main bank building.

Stockman Bank is Montana's largest privately held family owned bank. Stockman is committed to the MonDak area and looks forward to continuing the community banking principles they were founded upon over 60 years ago.
