The new branch is located on the corner of Clarke Road and Beneva Road at 5950 Beneva Road. The branch was previously operated by AmSouth. This opening marks Riverside Bank's second branch location in Sarasota County. In September 2002, the company opened its first branch location in Sarasota County at the north-end of the Publix Shopping Center in Nokomis (corner of U.S. 41 and Laurel Road).

"We are excited about our continued growth in Sarasota County and across Southwest Florida," said president and CEO John Moran. "Riverside Bank is dedicated to our customers and this new location will further enhance the banking services we provide to all the communities we serve."

Founded in 1997, Riverside Bank of the Gulf Coast includes six branch locations from Nokomis to south Fort Myers.
