Great Southern Bank of Springfield, Mo., opened a second full-service branch in Northwest Arkansas on June 2 in the University Square Shopping Center at 2552 W. Martin Luther King Blvd., in Fayetteville.

Narry Krushiker, through his University Square LLC entity, owns the 1,500-SF building, which was previously a First Security Bank location.

David Cherry is the branch manager of the Fayetteville location.

GSB entered the market in 2003 when it opened a loan production office in Rogers. In May 2010, it became a full-service branch at 2522 Pinnacle Hills Parkway.

With $3.8 billion in total assets, GSB operates 103 retail banking centers in Arkansas, Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Minnesota.

“We are excited to expand our presence in the burgeoning Northwest Arkansas market and are proud to be a member of the Fayetteville community,” GSB president and chief executive officer Joseph W. Turner said in a prepared statement. “Customers can expect great service, a comprehensive line of competitive products, and an engaged community partner.”
