WICHITA — Garden Plain State Bank’s lease is up at the Parklane Shopping Center, and the bank is not going to renew.
Bank president and CEO Patrick Walden says that branch underperformed.
“That branch was kind of stagnant,” he says. It “never really grew after the first couple of years.”
It opened in the center at Lincoln and Oliver in late 1994. It will close July 31.
The bank’s main office is near Maple and Maize, and it’s original bank is in Garden Plain.
Walden says he doesn’t have immediate plans to open another branch anywhere else, but he says, “We’re always looking to expand.”
