Bank of Tampa Expands Into Manatee County With New Office

MANATEE COUNTY, FL — The Bank of Tampa is expanding into Manatee County for the first time with plans for a new banking office in Lakewood Ranch.

The office, which will be located at 10650 Boardwalk Loop, will be led by veteran local banker, Bryan Boudreaux, and is expected to open in fall of 2022 following a renovation, according to a Bank of Tampa news release.

The full-service banking office will total more than 4,200 square feet and will include a drive-thru and on-site parking.

Boudreaux, who will continue in his role as Lakewood Ranch and Manatee County market director, offers more than 16 years of experience in banking and financial services, most of which has been focused in the Lakewood Ranch and Manatee County markets.

“Back when The Bank of Tampa first expanded its presence to the Sarasota market in 2018, we knew that we wanted to expand our reach to Lakewood Ranch and Manatee County. We found the right individual in Bryan first, and now we have found the right location — we are excited to continue our investment in this market,” Charlie Murphy, Sarasota and Manatee County market president at The Bank of Tampa, said.

The Bank of Tampa has operated throughout the Tampa Bay area since 1984. Currently, the bank operates 12 offices throughout Sarasota, Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, as well as a loan production office in Pasco County.
