Personal checking account stuff is probably very little of their business. Lot of loans (ag), business to business, mortgages, investments, insurance etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like an odd choice. It would be akin to opening another Mexican/Tex-Mex joint at this point. The market seems very saturated to me. I would love to see some sort of authentic German place open in town! This town needs another bank or apartment complex like I need another hole in the head.

You want restaurants you need patrons and money which means apartments and banks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, the Waffle House entertainment is one-of-a-kind! When I lived in the Florida Panhandle i was a couple blocks away from one. And granted I was like 25, but it came in clutch on multiple occasions, sober and not. Jamestown could use one too since we lost Perkins.

No it's going to be what GF doesn't need - another F*CKING bank! What's more attractive for a new bank than a former Denny's? IT IS for one Bank - love to see who it is. Maybe a dollar store will close so they can have a new branch - we'll see. BTW - The NorthSide Cafe is now open at the old Suite 49 location by the Ralph. Great food with a updated menu! Give them a shot - had lunch/breakfast there the other day - it was great! Try the stuffed hashbrowns - crazy good! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Brekke is involved with that - they got it right with drive through lanes that are wide-enough to drive a big pickup through - smart!

gfNDfan Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Two things to be sad about tonight.... RIP Kim Holmes of Sanders - Weird thing is I just asked a buddy about him the other day - A GF Icon who will be sorely missed. Saw a sign on ThaiHot3 on DeMers that says "Closed until further notice" Don't know what that means but not good. BEST Sushi in town and if you ordered the Pineapple Fried Rice it actually came in a real pineapple boat. Their bottled hot sauce was also amazing. Please come back...
