Great Southern Bancorp Inc. (Nasdaq: GSBC) is upgrading its presence in the Kimberling City area.
The Springfield-based operator of Great Southern Bank is demolishing an existing branch and building a new one at on the same location starting next month, according to a news release. The site is located at 14309 State Highway 13 in Reeds Spring, just north of Kimberling City.
“The construction of a new Kimberling City banking center is a positive step for our company," Great Southern President and CEO Joe Turner said in the release. "This new facility reinforces our commitment to serve the banking needs of Kimberling City customers in the years ahead, and it will provide them with a better banking experience."
The branch is slated for completion in late 2022. As demolition and construction are underway, a temporary office with a lobby and drive-thru will be on the site, officials say.
Great Southern has 93 branches and over 1,100 employees. In 2021, the company reported net income of $74.6 million, a 26% increase from $59.3 million in 2020, according to past reporting.
Plaza Shopping Center gained an arcade with the March 1 opening of The Flying Lap LLC; the repurposing of space operated by Burrell Behavioral Health resulted in the March 18 opening of the company’s second autism center; and a group of downtown business owners teamed up to reopen J.O.B. Public House.
