The Fargo location underwent a [customer-focused renovation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auntie-annes1). Consumer Banking Manager, Andi Burkhart states, “Our goal is to remove any perceptions that a bank is stale and impersonal. This new design allows us to be welcoming and collaborative while still being professional and confidential when needed.” There is a [coffee bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-coffee-house) to the left of the reception, offering local free coffee that rotates between a new local brand bi-weekly. It also features streamlined technology, new monitors, and more throughout the entire building to encourage collaboration and easy accessibility.
