“We’re going to have some hot fun in the summertime,” says Susan Guess, Senior Vice President of Paducah Bank, with regard to the bank’s “Every Friday Cookouts” in July and early August.
 
“We know that most people think all banks are the same,” says Paducah Bank President Wally Bateman. “But Paducah Bank has long set out to prove that perception wrong. And a customer appreciation event is one of the ways we hope to drive that point home. In addition to that, it will be fun.”

Each Friday from July 6 to August 10, the bank will be offering lunch from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm at a different location. “We’re partnering with Neil’s Catering and Parker’s Drive-In to help us out with grilled hotdogs and hamburgers,” Guess added. “And we’ll be giving away our Paducah Bank WOW! water and ice cream from our WOW! Wagon. It’s all about having some fun and showing our customers, and perhaps prospective customers, that we honestly value our relationships with the people we serve as well as the people in our community.”
 
The schedule is as follows:
 
July 6 – Strawberry Hill branch
 
July 13 – Southside branch
 
July 20 – Mid-City branch
 
July 27 – Reidland branch
 
August 3 – Main branch
 
August 10 – Lone Oak branch
 
Paducah Bank is Paducah’s only remaining locally-owned bank. Paducah Bank has six banking centers and employs 150 people.
