Emprise Bank announced today that they will permanently close their branch location at 1200 Main Street in downtown Hays.

Officials at the bank said that the
consolidation from three branches to two has been a topic of discussion for several years. Future use of the building has not yet been determined, but Emprise does plan to vacate the building. No official closing date has been set.

In conjunction with the closing of the downtown branch, Emprise has plans for a significant remodel to expand their location at 1011 East 27th Street. Plans for the remodel are in process, and a closing date for the downtown branch will be determined once the remodel plans are finalized.
“We are committed to serving the Hays community,” said Wayne Woofter, Hays Market President. “We’re confident that we can continue to serve the needs of our customers through our east and west locations, and we’re extremely excited for the remodel of our east branch to begin.”
