Savage, MN-August 16, 2011-Associated Bank announced today that its branch located at 12302 Princeton Avenue will relocate to 7533 Egan Drive on August 22.

The branch will move to provide a more convenient location for customers and serve the expanded Savage community through its centralized retail location. The branch features a more revitalized layout than the existing Princeton Avenue location, reflecting the updated Associated brand style.

"Our new Egan Drive branch is not only convenient for the residents of Savage, but will provide convenience to Prior Lake, Shakopee and Burnsville residents as well," said Steve Steen, Regional Retail Director, Associated Bank. "Our hope is that the relocation of our Savage branch creates a strong sense of community by connecting neighboring areas such as Eden Prairie where Associated is slated to open its first branch in the community in October."

At the new location the branch will continue to provide support for the communities it serves. "The Savage branch employees have been very involved in the community," said Nicole Maxwell, Branch Manager at the Savage location. "The branch has provided in-kind support to Dan Patch Days the last two years and continues to provide support through volunteering opportunities."

Renovations at the new location will enhance the overall customers' banking experience. The new branch will feature a drive-up ATM and safe deposit boxes. The bank will continue building upon existing partnerships in commercial, leasing, residential mortgage, and business development.

The bank will be hiring for new retail positions; positions are posted on Associated's job opportunities website http://careers.associatedbank.com/.
