PRESS RELEASE<\/p>\n

Consumer Capital Partners, (CCP), the owner of the fastest growing better burger chain in America, Smashburger, announced today that its Founder and Chairman, Rick Schaden, is diversifying his investments further by investing in a local Colorado-based bank holding company, CIC Bancshares, the owner and operator of Centennial Bank.\u00a0 The privately-owned bank has nine locations throughout the Front Range and mountain resort communities.\u00a0 Schaden made the investment in CIC Bancshares to support Centennial Bank\u2019s mission of providing loans to small businesses and contribute to the strength of the Colorado economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople often ask me to talk about what drives me or what inspires me.\u00a0 The answer has always been about helping small businesses and fostering entrepreneurialism,\u201d said Schaden \u201cI remember how I got my start in business with a loan from my dad and a local small business bank.\u00a0 Without this financial support, I would have never been able to open my first restaurant.\u00a0 Today I look back and see how that initial help allowed me to develop and grow two international restaurant chains and invest in a variety of other business ventures.\u00a0 It was apparent that Centennial Bank shares this same passion for supporting small businesses and entrepreneurs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Supporting small-to-mid sized businesses is a strategic vision of Centennial Bank.\u00a0 Local manufacturers, professional services firms, real estate developers and construction contractors are all examples of small businesses that are receiving financial support through Centennial Bank.\u00a0 According to Kevin Ahern, President and CEO of CIC Bancshares and Chairman of Centennial Bank, \u201cWe pride ourselves on fueling local economic growth by providing capital to small business owners.\u00a0 It\u2019s our niche, along with our relationship-based business approach with our customers. With Rick\u2019s involvement, combined with our extensive list of other local shareholders, we not only have access to the capital resources we need to grow, but we also have extensive Colorado-based business connections that lead to additional business for the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n
