Woodbury, NY On January 17, Wells Fargo employees were joined by Oyster Bay supervisor Joseph Saladino and local leaders from the Syosset Woodbury Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the grand opening of its new bank branch at 7977 Jericho Tpke.

Located within the Woodbury Village Shopping Center, the 3,800 s/f branch has been designed and built to the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standards and includes an assisted service ATM, a floorplan to create more space for conversation and consultation, and informative digital messaging displays.

“Our branches are the heartbeat of our communities,” said Colleen Canny, national branch network senior executive, consumer and small business banking at Wells Fargo, who spoke at the event. “Our communities need branches – along with our digital banking tools and mobile app that allow us to serve our customers how they want to be served. We are committed to Long Island and all of New York and look forward to creating strong relationships within the local communities, and to help our customers to meet their financial goals.”

The new branch’s location is a benefit to customers as its located among a mix of independent boutiques, restaurants, and other service providers within the center. It is near all parkways, as well as the Long Island Expwy. With the new Woodbury Village location, Wells Fargo has a total of 11 retail branches on Long Island and more than 70 statewide.

During the event, Wells Fargo awarded a $50,000 grant to the Community Development Corp. of Long Island to support their housing counseling programs in Nassau and Suffolk counties.
