FNB Southeast Opens New Coastal Headquarters, Branch In Wilmington, NC

  
    
  
  
    
      FNB Southeast (NASDAQ: FNBF), opened its newest bank branch and Coastal 
      Headquarters on October 10, 2006. The bank and regional officials occupy 
      6,700 square feet in a new building called the FNB Southeast Center, 
      located across from Mayfaire Town Center at the corner of Sir Tyler 
      Drive and Military Cutoff Road.
    
    
      The center was designed by architect Paul Briggs and constructed by 
      Wrightsville Builders. The developer is Tri-Coast Properties.
    
    
      In addition to the Mayfaire area branch, FNB Southeast serves Coastal NC 
      clients from branches at 704 South College Road in Wilmington, and 301 
      Fremont Street in Burgaw. The bank also has a construction lending 
      office at 7210 Wrightsville Avenue in Wilmington.
    
    
      In making the announcement, FNB Southeast Coastal Region President Paul 
      McCombie said: “This new branch will help FNB 
      Southeast serve our banking, mortgage and investment customers in 
      modern, efficient, and conveniently located facilities. The branch has 
      six teller windows, three drive-through lanes, four customer service 
      offices, and an easily accessible ATM. Of course, there is ample parking.”
    
    
      Interior Designer Kathy Moretti incorporated numerous coastal features 
      into the headquarters. Fountains flow in front and in back of the 
      building, and within the lobby.
    
    
      As clients enter the bank, they are greeted by a black granite 
      waterfall. Paintings from local artists feature Johnny Mercer’s 
      Pier at Wrightsville Beach, Downtown Wilmington, the Cape Fear Memorial 
      Bridge, and scenes from other Wilmington landmarks. The décor 
      reflects the green of the sea and tan shades of sand.
    
    
      Pressley Ridgill, President and CEO of the financial services 
      corporation, said, “Since 1996 when we opened 
      our first coastal branch, deposits have grown to more than 20% of our 
      overall system total. We also have more than $260 million of loans in 
      this region. Our mortgage and investment subsidiaries consider the North 
      Carolina coast to be prime territory for service to clients,” 
      he added. “Today, we serve thousands of 
      coastal area customers with a full range of financial services.”
