TODAV'S B' JSINESS CONCEPT
Selecting a site in which a
business will grow requires
analysis of the area to meet
certain desired qualifica­
tions.
William T. Johnson,
Chairman of Omnibanc Cor­
poration, addressed mem­
bers of the Lion's Club
during a recent luncheon
held at the I AM's Showcase
Supper Club, 12111 Hamil­
ton in Highland Park, to ex­
plain why Omnibanc choose
the City of Highland Park to
expand its services from the
River Rouge area.
The Highland Park site is
an area devastated by a col-
lapse in the economy due to WILLIAM T. JOHNSON
the departure of corpora-
tions like Sears, Chrysler Corporation, Ford Motor Company,'
Michigan Consolidated Gas and Ameritech, leaving behind a
desolated community with a high unemployment rate, thus
giving suburbanites an un-engaging reason to commut and
shop in Highland Park.
This made the perfect conditions for a bank to grow, says
Johnson. Omnibanc has made a commitment to help an rebuild
the City of Highland Park by employing HP residents, by
. helping small businesses obtain loans and by helping people to
understand the art of banking, whether it is op ning a check­
ing/savings account, or having a loan approved.
The Highland Park branch ofOmnibank is located at 13814
Woodward Ave at Gerald, and opened Monday thru Thursday,
9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Fridays from 9-6. Call 843-�850 for more
information.
