GAHANNA, OH (May 4, 2026) - Northwest Bank today kicked off the transformation of a building at 191 Granville Street in Gahanna into a modern, hospitality-driven financial center, marking another milestone in the bank's continued expansion across Central Ohio

To celebrate the start of the project, Northwest Bank leadership joined the City of Gahanna's Mayor Laurie Jadwin and Director of Economic Development Jeff Gottke on site for a ceremonial start to demolition, symbolically launching the project by breaking through the building's interior walls. The remodeled financial center is expected to open later this year.

"This project represents so much more than just a renovation-it reflects our long-term commitment to Gahanna and the entire Columbus region," said Devin Teles-Cygnar, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at Northwest. "We're proud to reinvest in an existing structure and part of the neighborhood and reimagine it as a space designed to welcome meaningful conversations, strengthen relationships, and better serve our customers and neighbors."

The Gahanna location is one of five Northwest Bank financial centers scheduled to open in the Columbus market this year. Each financial center will feature a modern design centered on comfort and accessibility, including private meeting spaces and advanced self-service options intended to support personalized financial conversations in a welcoming environment.

"Northwest Bank's decision to reinvest in an existing property and establish a new financial center here speaks to Gahanna's strong business environment and sense of community," said Mayor Laurie Jadwin. "We're pleased to welcome a financial institution that shares our commitment to thoughtful redevelopment and long-term community partnership."
