Arvest set to begin building first Hollister branch

A ceremony is planned for 11 a.m. June 3 at 139 Gage Drive.

At 4,000 square feet, the full-service branch will offer standard banking services, as well as mortgage, commercial and consumer lending, according to a news release. It will feature three drive-through lanes and an automated teller machine.

The bank is slated to open in December. It will operate 7 a.m.–7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m.–1 p.m. on Saturdays.

Arvest opened its first Springfield branch in leased space at 1435 E. Bradford Parkway in June 2007. Construction of its first permanent branch is under way at 2403 W. Republic Road, and land has been purchased at Chestnut Expressway and National Avenue for a third location. Arvest’s Springfield market also includes two Branson locations.
