The Only Thing Constant Is Change

In 1984, Goldenwest ventured outside of Weber County and opened the first branch located in Davis County. Today, we have six offices in Davis County with branches in Clinton, Clearfield, Layton, Kaysville, Centerville and I’m excited to say ‘now in Bountiful’. With the Bountiful branch opening on August 2nd, we have 21 branch offices across Utah. I invite you to visit this beautiful, full-service office located at 2085 Orchard Drive.

Supporting Students & Financial Education

It’s that time of year when I’m preparing to run the Annual Goldenwest 5K For Schools.
