Stone Bank invited the public to tour its newly remodeled Little Rock headquarters on Tuesday (Jan. 21) at an official ribbon cutting. The new location, at 12615 Chenal Parkway, in west Little Rock has undergone remodeling from corporate offices for over a year.

Stone Bank President and CEO Nick Roach, bank officials, and key project leaders cut a ribbon to officially open the bank facility.

“Remodeling this facility has been a long process and we are excited to provide a beautiful work environment for our employees and a new banking center for our customers,” said Roach.

The 39,000 square foot, three-story building, which will eventually house 115 employees, was built in 1990 and housed another Little Rock financial institution. The bank will occupy the first two floors with Shelter Insurance occupying the third floor.

Among the key features of the building:

  • Bank branch
  • 4-lane drive-thru plus ITM/ATM
  • Community room with catering kitchen
  • New entryway and vestibule
  • New balconies on north and east sides
  • Complete renovation of lobby
  • New exterior windows on south side
  • Replacement of interior walls with glass for increased natural light
  • Installation of a “living wall” covered in live plants

Stone Bank made a $10,000 donation to the American Scholastic Climbing League (ASCL) of Arkansas, a non-profit organization that provides climbing scholarships to socioeconomically underserved children. The money will be used to help provide scholarships, gym memberships, climbing gear, and competition fees.

The bank also unveiled the largest installation of work by the renowned nature photographer, Paul Caldwell. The driving force behind PhotosofArkansas.com, Caldwell has amassed a catalogue of scenic views from around the Natural State. Additional Arkansas photography was provided by Tim Ernst and Mark Anderson.

Stone Bank, which has roughly $700 million in assets, also has locations in Mountain View, Harrison, White Hall, DeWitt and Gillett.
