Scottrade Announces Opening of Sewell, N.J. Branch Office

Online brokerage opens Philadelphia-area office to provide local
customer service for online investors
SEWELL, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Scottrade, a leading, branch-supported online investment firm,
announces the opening of a new branch office in Sewell, N.J. The
branch located at 380 Egg Harbor in the Mill Pond Village shopping
center, opens on Monday, April 21.

"The opening of Scottrade's second South Jersey branch office will
be more convenient for many of our customers," said Wayne Clements,
Scottrade Sewell branch manager. "Our customers value having a local
branch office nearby and I look forward to working with our customers
in Sewell."

Scottrade is an online stock brokerage firm that provides the
tools and research for customers to make their own investment
decisions. Scottrade stock brokers are available to answer
account-related questions, provide customer service and offer
tutorials on Scottrade's online trading services. They, however, can
not provide investment advice.

"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 offices allow us to provide a better customer experience for
online investors."

Since opening its first Philadelphia-area location in 1997 in
Langhorne, Pa., Scottrade has expanded into six other locations in the
metropolitan region, including offices in Jenkintown, Wayne, Media,
and Philadelphia, Pa., and Marlton, N.J. There are 11 other Scottrade
