New Location, New Technology, Greater Access
New Southbridge Savings Bank Location at West Boylston Street. Worcester Embodies Progressive Attitude


Worcester, May, 2006 - Over the past decade Southbridge Savings Bank has known considerable growth, which includes both eastern and western expansion from their core market in Southbridge. They opened their first Worcester branch in 1998 at the former Shaw’s Supermarket at Gold Star Blvd. Since that time they have opened a second branch at the Big Y Supermarket on May Street.

“We have really enjoyed working with customers in the Worcester market”, commented Philip Pettinelli, President and CEO of Southbridge Savings Bank, “The community has been very supportive of the Bank and really enjoys our small town service and personal attention”.

In 2005, after the Shaw’s Supermarket moved to it’s new location, Southbridge Savings Bank took up residence in their adjacent, temporary location on Ruthven Avenue. Since that time plans have been made to move the branch to it’s final location, just down the street. The new branch will be located at the corner of Ruthven Ave. and West Boylston Street. Masiello Construction Co. has been awarded the new contract to build the Southbridge Savings Bank Branch. The Architect for the project is DRL Associates, Inc. of Weymouth, Massachusetts.

The branch will be a full service location offering traditional banking, an on-site commercial representative as well as an on-site investment representative. In addition the new branch will include many technologically advanced additions such as an internet kiosk and a waiting area complete with high tech plasma screen television and coffee bar.

“We truly can’t wait for the new branch to be opened this fall. Our customers tell us that they can’t wait either”, stated Mr. Pettinelli, “The new branch is a true indication of our commitment to the Worcester community.”
Southbridge Savings Bank operates 13 branches throughout Massachusetts, with two branches in the city of Worcester. For more information about Southbridge Savings Bank visit them on the web at www.southbridgesavingsbank.com or call them at 800.939.9103.
