The Nashville-based investment bank Avondale Partners has opened an equity research office in Atlanta, the third new office opened this year.

The Nashville Business Journal reports the office will be managed by Patrick McKeever, a senior analyst who focuses on the retail industry. Avondale said hiring McKeever, the fifth senior analyst to join the bank as a consumer specialist, was part of an ongoing effort to expand its coverage in the sector.
