[edit] History
For many years, Riley's Auto Sales operated an Oldsmobile, Subaru, and Mazda dealership at 1975 JFK Road in Dubuque. In the 1990's, Riley's decided to move to a new location on Dodge Street. Soon after Riley's moved to its Dodge Street Location, it was announced that a new bank would take over what had been the showroom portion of the old Riley's building. This bank, Premier bank would open the 1975 JFK Road after a portion of the old building housing the service and administrative offices of the old car dealership were torn down.
Premier Bank's opening marked the first time in 65 years that a locally owned and operated bank was established in Dubuque. The bank has remained under local control since opening.
Since opening, Premier Bank has opened two more locations. It opened a location in downtown Dubuque after Firstar Bank (now US Bank) closed their downtown location after a merger. In 2005 the bank built another new location near the Asbury Plaza shopping center, which opened in late 2005.
