The bank showed its philanthropic side and willingness to be good neighbors by donating to several community charities.
Community residents came out last Saturday to show their support for TD Bank’s new Plant City store, located at 308 Alexander St.
Celebrations included a ribbon cutting, food, entertainment, games and prizes.
The office features an advice center format with multiple universal stations, allowing bankers to accommodate the needs of customers, whether it’s a quick checking or savings account transaction or a more involved financial discussion. The office also features a 24/7 ATM, safety deposit boxes, a drive-thru with three lanes and a drive-thru ATM.
“TD Bank doesn’t offer your traditional teller lines and platform stations,” said Randy Estrada, Market President of North Florida at TD. “Our store offers the versatility to be able to have conversation with our customers about milestones in their lives, like purchasing a home, obtaining financing for their small business, retirement planning or establishing a first banking relationship.”
The bank’s store manager is Jonathan Rosado, a local resident who was the former store manager of its Apollo Beach location. “He was the perfect fit for us because he’s not only a local resident but a very tenured, seasoned banker,” said Estrada.
TD Bank prides itself on showing up- for local fundraisers, volunteer events and community gatherings- and they’re excited to continue the momentum across Tampa Bay and across the state in the coming months.
As part of the celebration, TD Bank and the TD Charitable Foundation presented a community grant to the Boys and Girls Club in support of its Summer Bridge Book program and a sponsorship presentation with United Food Bank of Plant City’s Empty Bowls Project. TD Bank is a Presenting Sponsor for the November event.
“We have a fantastic team here and that’s just our toe in the water of the things we plan to do as being good corporate citizens in Plant City,” said Estrada. “We’re not just providing financial solutions, we also believe in rolling up our sleeves and providing sweat equity and making a difference in the communities we serve.”
Plant City resident and TD Bank customer Tia Bednarczyk attended the grand opening and was thrilled the bank now offers a Plant City store. She appreciated the free breakfast sandwich and plant and produce giveaways but was more grateful her bank will now have a footprint in Plant City. “I run a nonprofit dachshund rescue and had to drive to Brandon and Lakeland to make bank deposits,” she said. “I had a deposit I had to make and everyone inside was super friendly and having a bank in town that I can do business with that doesn’t cost the rescue money is a double bonus.”
The opening marks the 164th location in the state of Florida and the 24th location in the Tampa Bay area but the growth isn’t stopping there. Between now and October it will be opening up four additional locations in Florida. “We pride ourselves on the growth we’re experiencing and we continue to entrench ourselves in local communities through volunteerism,” said Estrada. “We want to take our customers from their very first bank account to defining how they’re going to settle down in retirement and everything in between.”
TD Bank in Plant City is open Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
