Main Street Bank expands in downtown Northville, Plymouth

Chalk one up for the little guy. The little guy is Northville-based Main Street Bank which is expanding in both downtown Northville and Plymouth.

Main Street Bank opened in downtown Northville 3.5 years ago. Since then it has outgrown its offices and so opened a new headquarters in Northville Square. Along with the original branch and yet another in downtown Plymouth, three has become the magic number for the local business.

The original location, 201 E Main St. near Pools Tavern, only had 6,500 square feet. The new headquarters in Northville Square has a spacious 10,500, making it one of the anchor tenants in that new development.

“Downtown Northville has a lot of things going on,” says Audrey Mistor, president and COO of Main Street Bank. “We are a bank that wanted to be in the middle of downtown Northville.”

The bank sees the same sort of potential in nearby downtown Plymouth. Main Street Bank opened a branch there, 706 S Main St. near Kellog Park, this past summer. It plans to consolidate its gains in the next 18 months before looking at expanding to another nearby city in 2009.
