Description: A new branch for Great Southern Bank at the corner of Benton Avenue and Chestnut Expressway replaces one that was recently demolished to make way for it on the same site. It is designed as a full-service, next-generation banking center that is focused on customer experience, according to a Great Southern Bank spokesperson. Services to be offered are traditional walk-in lobby offerings, including an interactive teller machine, plus a commercial drive-thru lane and drive-thru ITM with extended hours. A temporary banking location remains active on the site until the new building is completed.
