Glendale makes history as village gets 1st bank
The Cincinnati Enquirer
GLENDALE — The village celebrated the grand opening this week of the first full-service bank in its
history.
The Fifth Third branch, located in a replica of an old building on Glendale's historic square, opened its doors Monday, giving residents from this northern Hamilton County community of 2,500 their first opportunity to bank at home.
So far, they seem to welcome the opportunity, said branch manager Tom Carroll.
“There have been a lot of people in Glendale who have really decided they're going to support the bank and who have been switching accounts,” he said. “Everybody's really ready to pull their money from other banks and save it in their hometown.”
The bank, which sits on the site of the former McClaren's garage at 38 Village Square, was built through a deal between Glendale and Fifth Third. The bank put about $600,000 into a new building and the village will rent the site to the bank for $1 a year for the next 20 years. “This is a wonderful thing for Glendale,” said Village Administrator Walter Cordes.
