State Representative Bradley Fritts (R-Dixon) has named First State Bank in Mendota as his October 2025 local business highlight. The bank, established in 1940, now operates 19 locations and has a long history of serving families and small businesses in the region.
“I chose to highlight First State Bank because of their dedication to truly serving our community,” said Rep. Fritts. “From supporting local youth organizations to sponsoring community events, First State Bank does so much to give back. They host blood drives, donate to youth sports teams, support local organizations such as United Way and the YMCA, and encourage their employees to get involved in their own lives.”
First State Bank employees are active in various community roles, including school boards, educational foundations, chambers of commerce, and groups like Lions Club and Rotary Club.
Fritts added, “Their commitment to being a true community bank is a reminder of the positive change that local businesses can create, which is why I am proud to highlight First State Bank for my October Local Business Highlight.”
The main branch of First State Bank is located at 706 Washington Street in Mendota. Additional information about locations and hours is available at FirstStateBank.biz.
