The financial services firm Edward Jones has opened another office at 334 E. Colfax St., Suite B, in Palatine.

Deb Gabriel has been hired as the financial advisor for the new office.

"We opened our first Edward Jones office here in 1998, and every year, more and more people have come to rely on Edward Jones for their investment needs," said Jim Weddle, the firm's managing partner. "By opening an additional office, Deb can continue our tradition of unparalleled personal service to the people of this community."

Gabriel said she is excited about establishing her business and home in Palatine.

"The other Edward Jones financial advisors have set an outstanding example for me to follow," Gabriel said. "Their dedication to the people who trust Edward Jones has been instrumental in the growth of our firm, and I look forward to carrying on that tradition."

Gabriel grew up in Palatine and lives in Palatine with her husband and two teenage sons.

"We help individuals work toward achieving their serious, long-term financial goals by understanding their needs and implementing tailored solutions to meet those needs," Roeser said. "We do so through our branch-office business model which is structured to provide convenient and personalized service to our clients. Having Deb work with even more individual investors in Palatine will only help us continue the tradition of excellent client service."
