They may be expanding marketing and products but it's hard to expand services to it's customers when they decide to close the lobbies on saturdays! Just what I want to do, wait in the drive thru for a half an hour behind the people that normally go inside with their coffee can full of coins, and 10 deposits into their checking and savings. These big city bankers will soon find out that the big city ways won't work in small town USA when people pull their money to go to banks that are open to the customers that saturdays are their only days to run their errends, which would be every bank in the area but them.

I'm guessing that Mid America Bank will keep its name. Interestingly, Wisconsin Bancorp has no other holdings (nor a website).
