The company expects to open a new office in the Baltimore suburb of Hunt Valley, Md., later this year and is considering locations in Kentucky, Texas and Alabama for other offices.

Scott & Stringfellow was formed May 20, 1893, by Frederic William Scott and Charles S. Stringfellow Jr.

The firm became part of North Carolina-based BB&T Corp. in 1999. 

Earlier this year, as part of a rebranding effort, the names was changed to BB&T Scott & Stringfellow.

BB&T Scott & Stringfellow is a division of BB&T Securities, LLC, which has 38 offices in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, New Jersey, Georgia, and Florida.
