Fauquier Bank opens ninth branch in Bristow Center

The Fauquier Bank officially opened its ninth branch recently in the Bristow Center. This is the third branch in Prince William County and Manassas.

At the opening, a seven-day vacation package at the Hilton Virginia Beach Oceanfront hotel grand prize was awarded to Fernando Reyes of Warrenton. The bank's customers and other guests were offered the opportunity to register for the drawing at any bank office prior to the grand opening of the Bristow branch.

According to Randy Ferrell, president and CEO, "Considerable effort was spent searching for this ideal location to serve the financial needs of this community and commuters using the Va. 28/Linton Hall corridors. We've already heard from area customers praising the convenience and other benefits of our person-to-person, community banking style that they liked in our other branches."

The bank's 'Splash & Cash" contest will return in the fall as the bank celebrates two more branch openings. A new office in Haymarket and the relocated Viewtree branch in Warrenton are both scheduled to open in December.
