(Gwinnett County, Ga., October 17, 2025) — Pinnacle Financial Partners has officially opened its newest full-service office in unincorporated Duluth, marking another milestone in its Southeast expansion strategy.

The expansion underscores Pinnacle’s commitment to serving high-growth markets across Georgia. Gwinnett County’s reputation for innovation, diversity, and economic vitality made it a natural choice for the firm’s next phase of growth.
“Our Duluth team has already built strong connections with clients and neighbors, and this grand opening is a celebration of those relationships,” said Susan Hampton, Area Manager for Pinnacle Financial Partners. “We’re honored to serve this community and continue providing the relationship-driven care Pinnacle is known for.”
