A proud day: First National Bank of S.C. opens new home office in Holly Hill

HOLLY HILL From its beginnings nearly 100 years ago, the First National Bank of South Carolina has held strong to its Holly Hill roots.

On Dec. 18, FNB held the official grand opening of its new home office at 801 Gilway St.

FNB board member Dan Folk said, Ive been on the board for more than 25 years. Theres a lot of pride and family connection since my grandfather and father both served as past presidents.

Folk added, My dad used to take me to the old bank building when I was a little kid, so this bank has been part of my life since as long as I can remember.

FNB Vice President and cashier John L. Wiggins III said, Were enjoying our new building.

Anytime you move into a new building, its a proud day, Wiggins said.

Wiggins and FNB Senior Vice President John Woodie West have been part of the construction process from start to finish.

We started on it in 2012 and have been involved with it since then. We broke ground in March 2013, he said.

It officially opened for business in late April 2014.

While the building was under construction, bank employees and customers continued to use its facility that was constructed in 1975.
