Years ago, a customer walked into the Winder Dairy Queen and asked if they served fried bologna biscuits. Then-owner Bill Walters’ response: not today, but come back tomorrow and we will. That kind of customer service, along with those legendary homemade biscuits, helped pave the

way to success and to the third generation of DQ, the Grill & Chill.

At The Peoples Bank, we’ve built a reputation for excellent service and a strong foundation so we can continue to serve customers’ requests and community needs for generations to come. From the beginning, we’ve been there for the Walters family, providing the fi nancial services and support they need to keep serving Winder some of the best ice cream treats — and biscuits — around.

Brad Akins has seen many changes in the automobile business – from the carnival-like atmosphere of new model introductions to selling cars online,

from “bigger is better” trucks to fuel-effi cient hybrids. The one thing that has remained constant at Akins Ford is a commitment to work harder than any other

dealership to earn customers’ business and loyalty.

Brad took the wheel of Akins Ford in 1990 when his dad passed away. He went to Charles Maddox, then-president of The Peoples Bank, seeking advice from a well-respected local business leader. He found someone willing to take a chance on a 23-year-old, developing a banking relationship that he considers an integral part of his business. Today, with Chris Maddox and The Peoples Bank riding shotgun, Brad has a fi nancial partner who isn’t just along for the ride.
