Montevideo, MN – Citizens Alliance Bank and Agency is excited to announce its partnership with Ziggi’s Coffee to offer an enhanced banking and insurance experience for our valued customers. As part of this collaboration, Ziggi’s will open a new location within our Montevideo branch which is currently under construction by Edman Builders with an anticipated completion date of September 2025. The new building will provide a welcoming space with comfortable seating including a fireplace where customers can enjoy value priced premium coffee while taking care of their banking and insurance needs.

This partnership is designed to create a community hub where people can relax, meet with bankers or insurance agents and experience the exceptional coffee that Ziggi’s is known for. It’s not just about banking and insurance, it’s about bringing people together in a comfortable, inviting environment where they can enjoy a great cup of coffee while also managing their financial and insurance needs if necessary. Ziggi’s will also have their own drive thru window separate from the bank’s drive up window.

“Our goal has always been to put our customers first, and this partnership with Ziggi’s allows us to do just that,” said Bank President, Chad Forkrud. “We’re offering more than just financial and insurance services; we’re providing a space where our customers and non-customers can feel at home and enjoy a great cup of coffee while they bank.”

Ziggi’s Coffee, is a leading nationwide coffee shop franchise founded in Longmont, Colorado, in 2004. It has been recognized for its commitment to quality in smaller communities the other big brand names overlook. Ziggi’s serves only the finest roasted coffee and handcrafted drinks, such as their signature Energy Infusions, along with delicious breakfast, lunch, and snack options. Ziggi’s has over 100 locations across the U.S., thanks to the incredible support and loyalty of its customers.

“We are ecstatic to be opening our first Ziggi’s location in Minnesota in Granite Falls in spring 2025,” said Joseph Edman, franchise owner. “And we’re equally excited to open our second location here in Montevideo, inside the new Citizens Alliance Bank and Agency building located at 1406 E. Hwy 7. We can’t wait to bring handcrafted coffee and the Ziggi’s experience to town. Being named Best Coffee Drive-Thru for 2024 by USA Today is just the beginning, and we look forward to welcoming the community to our new location.”
