Exciting news! At the annual meeting in March, we introduced a new branch plan for Minot. This multi-step branch strategy aims to address challenges we are experiencing at our Minot Main location, strengthens our presence in Minot and positions Town & Country Credit Union for decades of future growth.

Step 1: Opening a New Branch on 31st Avenue SW this Summer

We’ve purchased a building at 3100 10^th St. SW — just southeast of the Dakota Square Mall — and are currently remodeling it to fit our needs. This new, full‑service branch is on track to open in late Summer 2026.

The 31st Avenue location will house all staff and services located at Minot Main, including the Town & Country Insurance Agency. This branch will immediately give us adequate space for our staff and a modern environment to serve our members. While this branch will not have a drive-up right away, we are looking to add one in the future.

Step 2: Rebuilding the Minot Main Branch on Broadway

For 30 years, our Minot Main branch at 615 South Broadway has been a landmark for members. The building itself, however, has reached the end of its effective life. After decades of use by Town & Country and other organizations, it now faces significant and expensive challenges — from ongoing HVAC and foundation issues to water problems, space limitations, and inefficient layouts.

We explored every option to repair or remodel the existing building. Ultimately, the Town & Country Board of Directors and Leadership Team determined that a large‑scale renovation would be cost-prohibitive – especially given that the expensive repairs may or may not fully resolve the underlying issues. Demolishing our current building and rebuilding a new branch on that same lot is the most responsible long‑term investment for our members.

Reconstruction will allow us to maintain our landmark Broadway location and invest in a building that is right-sized for the lot, provides better drive-up access, offers better parking and provides room for us to grow and serve members for years to come. 

Step 3: Opening the New Minot Main

Construction of the new Minot Main building will kick off with the demolition of the existing building late this summer. Construction will take about 18 months, providing for a projected opening in 2028. During construction, a mobile banking unit will be located in the parking lot behind the Minot Main site to provide lobby service and a one-lane drive-up. Once complete, we will shift some staff from the 31st Avenue branch back to Minot Main to balance services and create space for future growth across both locations.

What This Means for Minot Members

Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible while ensuring you maintain convenient access to your accounts and services. In addition to the newly opened 31st Ave location and the mobile banking unit behind Minot Main, our Dakota Square, South Minot, and Trinity Health locations will continue operating, giving you multiple options for drive‑up and lobby services.

More details, including exact timelines and member impacts, will be shared as we get closer to implementing each phase.
