Grant Gee, an Edward Jones financial advisor in Carmi, still remembers the day he decided to join the financial services firm. That was 30 years ago.
“After learning how Edward Jones financial advisors were required to meet many members of a community before even being able to open an office, I knew this was the right firm for me,” Gee said. “Personal service for individual investors is key to the success and longevity of Edward Jones, and I’m proud to be celebrating Thirty years of representing those values.”
“The strength and spirit of this town are synonymous with our firm. Carmi has been a great place to call home,” Gee said.
Former financial advisor, Mark Fridley opened the first Edward Jones office in Carmi in 1986. Gee took over in 1990. In 2007 and 2016, Carmi welcomed two more Edward Jones offices into the community.
“I’ve enjoyed doing business the old-fashioned way – in person,” Gee said. “And I look forward to many more years serving the investment needs of my friends, neighbors and business associates.”
