Lee Fite, regional president at Fifth Third Bank, said the new location is a continued effort by Fifth Third to support the neighborhood.

“We want to be more than simply a corporate partner,” he said. “While we have made great progress building relationships with those who call the Historic West End home, we want to continue to learn from them how we can be a real friend to the community and play a vital role in serving others to improve lives. The new branch on Beatties Ford Road is the next step in this partnership.”
