Citizens National Bank proudly broke ground on its newest full-service community banking location in the rapidly growing city of Gluckstadt. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on Thursday, August 21, marking a significant milestone in CNB’s continued expansion across Madison County.
The upcoming Gluckstadt Banking Centre, located at 144 Calhoun Station Parkway, Gluckstadt, MS, is expected to open in 2026. Once complete, it will serve as CNB’s third location in Madison County and fourth in the region, further strengthening the bank’s presence in one of Mississippi’s most dynamic markets.
Gluckstadt, incorporated in 2021, is Mississippi’s newest city and home to the Gluckstadt Madison Business Alliance, founded in 2022. The area’s rapid development and vibrant community spirit make it an ideal location for CNB’s next chapter of growth.

We are proud to be part of its story and look forward to continuing to expand lasting relationships with the families and businesses who call it home.”
