BIRMINGHAM, AL— AmFirst has acquired 7.59 acres of land in Alabaster, AL, for a future branch in Shelby County. The land is located on AL-119 just north of the intersection of Thompson Road.
The Alabaster location will be AmFirst’s fourth branch in Shelby County, joining existing branches in Inverness, Calera and Pelham. It will also be their 24th branch location overall, with its Clanton branch scheduled to open in Winter 2026.
“At AmFirst, we are deeply committed to growing within the communities we serve,” said Kevin Morris, President and CEO of AmFirst. “Shelby County has been an essential part of AmFirst’s growth, and we are very excited to grow that area with a new location in Alabaster. This investment is a clear statement of our commitment to providing convenient, accessible financial services and to growing our footprint in one of Alabama’s fastest-growing communities.”
The land acquisition is another step in AmFirst’s continued planned expansion across Alabama. With 22 locations already operating and additional branches in the pipeline across the state, AmFirst continues to invest in opportunities that will bring its member-focused financial services closer to the communities it serves.
The Alabaster branch will give residents and businesses yet another convenient location to access AmFirst’s full range of financial products and services, in line with the credit union’s mission to improve its members’ financial well-being.
