When we first put down roots in the city in 1999, our theme to promote the opening of the new branch was “Growing With Kenosha.” In keeping with that theme, we asked Boy Scouts Troop 436 to plant a tree outside the newly constructed Kenosha Central office. Our weeklong celebration featured plenty of other activities and giveaways as well, including free seed packets, eye checkups and blood pressure screenings, face painting, magic, and balloon animals (and free geraniums, naturally). And of course, with the addition of the Kenosha Main and Kenosha South branches since then, North Shore Bank has continued to grow with Kenosha and serve the community.
