Community is at the foundation of who we are as an organization; it’s one of our six core values.

To see community at TRB, look no further than gameday in Denton. Before every University of North Texas (UNT) home football game, Texas Regional Bank brings their newly renovated smoker trailer and feeds hungry fans. 

This tailgating tradition started eight years ago with AccessBank, and I’m pleased to see it continue at TRB. 

Depending on the menu, the volunteer work starts 5-8 hours before kickoff when Duke York and his team start preparing food to cook on the smoker. By the time the food is ready to serve, an additional 5-10 TRB employees arrive to help with food service, chat with community members, and talk football. 

The TRB team serves a menu ranging from ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, smoked sausage and hot dogs to approximately 150-300 people per game. The bankers invite customers throughout the season; however, they’ll feed anyone wearing Mean Green, TRB blue, and even the opposing team’s fans!

The cost? It’s free. Just a way for our bankers to show how much they love their community.

Well done Team Denton.
