Edward Jones expands its Bucyrus operations

BUCYRUS, OHIO – Friday, January 26 –  Edward Jones Financial Advisor Steve Ritzhaupt is pleased to announce the grand opening of his new office located at 127 S. Sandusky Avenue in Bucyrus.

The Bucyrus Area Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a ribbon-cutting on Friday, February 2 at 1:00 p.m. After the ribbon cutting, Steve will host an open house until 4 p.m.

For the past six years, Steve Ritzhaupt and Sean Ritzhaupt, brothers who are both Edward Jones Advisors, have been sharing the same office space.

Steve Ritzhaupt expressed his excitement about the expansion, saying, “I am delighted to open this new office in Bucyrus and continue serving our clients with the same dedication and expertise they have come to expect from Edward Jones. This investment, which included several local contractors, allows us to better serve our community and accommodate the growing demand for our services.”
