The branch, located at 24300 E. Smoky Hill Road in the Eagles Nest Village Center, opens on Monday, Aug. 4.
The branch will be managed by Don Tulloch, who has 17 years of experience
in the financial services industry, including 12 years as branch manager of Scottrade's Greenwood Village, Colo. location.
"Right now, Scottrade has branch offices in the southern and southwestern parts of Denver, but the new branch will allow us to better serve our customers in the eastern Denver suburbs," Tulloch said. "Aurora's a growing area with a lot of new developments and the new branch will be a good addition to the area."
Scottrade is an online stock brokerage firm that provides the tools and research to make their own investment decisions. Scottrade does not provide investment advice, but stock brokers are available at branch offices to answer account related questions, provide customer service and give tutorials on Scottrade's online trading services.
"We feel it is important to have branch offices where our customers work and live," said Rodger Riney, Scottrade founder, president and CEO. "While most of our customers trade online, our local branch offices allow us to provide a better customer experience for online investors."
The Aurora branch will be Scottrade's sixth Denver-area branch office and its tenth in the state. Other Colorado branch offices are located in Boulder, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins.
Scottrade's Aurora branch office is open Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be reached at (303) 690-8655. For more, visit www.scottrade.com.
