Service and Support
GARNER, N.C.--(Business Wire)--
Scottrade, a leading branch-supported online investment firm, is opening a new
branch office in Garner, N.C., on Monday, July 13 at 7065 White Oak Road. The
new office will be managed by Adam McKnight, who most recently served as branch
manager at Scottrade`s Mount Pleasant, S.C., branch office.

"Located in the White Oak Crossing Shopping Center, the Garner branch office
will be a convenient location for investors living in the South Raleigh area,"
McKnight said. "Easily accessible off of Interstate 40 and U.S. Highway 70,
customers can visit the branch office to have questions answered and learn more
about online trading and investing."

Scottrade is an online investment firm that provides the tools and research
necessary for individuals to make their own investment decisions. The firm 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 and CEO. "While most of our
customers trade online, our local offices allow us to provide a better customer
experience for online investors."

The Garner branch office is Scottrade`s 11th branch office in North Carolina.
Other local branch offices are located in Cary, Raleigh and Durham, N.C.
