Kent Avenue welcomes Dime Community Bank during grand opening ceremony
Dime Community Bank continues to stay true to its Williamsburg roots.
The 154-year-old bank celebrated the official grand opening of its newest branch at 149 Kent Avenue during a ceremony on Thursday, April 26, which was attended by Dime management, community leaders and others who gathered to discuss Dime’s new digs and what it means for the community bank to continue to expand in northern Brooklyn.
“For us, it’s being back home again because the bank started on Kent Avenue back in 1864, where Giandos currently stands, so to have a branch here in the middle of this vibrant community is great,” said Dime President and CEO Kenneth J. Mahon. “We’re looking forward to it, and frankly, I think it’s the most attractive looking branch in our system.”
