Pinnacle Opens Office in Blount County

Associates will work out of temporary office in Maryville

Pinnacle Financial Partners opened its Blount County office—its sixth in East Tennessee—today. Business hours for the temporary full-service office, located at 108 W. Church Ave. in Maryville, are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Pinnacle recruited Tony Thompson in May to launch the financial services firm’s operations in Blount County and serve as area manager of client services. He, along with office leader Wanda Edmondson and financial advisors Janine Stinnett and Mike Zorio, will serve clients from the office while Pinnacle finds space for a permanent, full-service location in the county.

“We have assembled an experienced group of financial services professionals to deliver distinctive service and effective advice to Blount County, which we believe is full of opportunity,” said Missy Wallen, Pinnacle’s Knoxville chairman. “The banking veterans we recruited have outstanding reputations for providing exceptional client service that will serve this area well.”

Pinnacle Financial Partners provides a full range of banking, investment, trust, mortgage and insurance products and services designed for businesses and their owners and individuals interested in a comprehensive relationship with their financial institution.

The firm began operations in a single downtown Nashville location in October 2000 and has since grown to approximately $6.5 billion in assets at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2015, Pinnacle is the second-largest bank holding company headquartered in Tennessee, with 29 offices in eight Middle Tennessee counties and six offices in East Tennessee. The firm expanded to West Tennessee in April 2015 with a loan-production office in Memphis. Additionally, Great Place to Work^® named Pinnacle one of the best workplaces in the United States on its 2014 Best Small & Medium Workplaces list published in FORTUNE magazine. The American Banker also recognized Pinnacle as the second best bank to work for in the country.
