Bank of Choice announces first Fort Collins branch

FORT COLLINS – A Weld County-based bank has made its entry into the Fort Collins market official.

Bank of Choice, known as Weld County Bank until June 30, purchased a pad site for its new branch location on the northeast corner of the intersection of Shields Street and Drake Road.

The lot, located in the Market Centre retail complex, was acquired for $675,000.

Darrell McAllister, president and CEO of the bank, said the organization looked at several locations around town but decided on the Market Centre spot because of its ease to develop and its central location.
