First Financial Bank Opens Avondale Office, 13th in Chester County
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa., Dec. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When customers
walk through the doors of the bank branch at 119 Pennsylvania
Avenue in Avondale on December 13th there will be quite a few
differences. The first thing they may notice is a different bank
name. First Financial Bank completed its acquisition of the branch
from PNC Bank effective at the close of business on December 10,
2004. "People will notice some important differences immediately,"
noted First Financial Bank Senior Vice President Chris Breslin. "We
have extended the branch hours to 8:00 to 4:00 Monday through
Thursday, until 6:00 on Friday and also from 9:00 to 1:00 on
Saturday. The branch now has a FREE coin counting machine: that is
one of the most often requested services for a bank branch. Because
this branch has a high percentage of Spanish speaking residents, we
have made Spanish versions of our brochures available. Over the
next several months, we will be adding staff to improve the speed
and service quality in the branch. Together with our twelve
existing branches, 24 hour online and telephone banking systems,
and access to nationwide ATM networks, customers will clearly see
and feel our commitment to providing extraordinary service on every
level." The existing branch staff is excited by the changes and has
remained with First Financial Bank. "It's clear that First
Financial has made a commitment to residents of the area, first by
purchasing the branch and again with the improvements it is
making," noted Susan Riberio, Branch Manager and one of the former
PNC branch staff members who have remained with First Financial.
"That's important to us, both as staff and as residents. We are
very happy to stay with the branch and continue to serve our
customers under the First Financial Bank name." "The story of a
smaller bank taking over the branch of a larger bank isn't one that
is told often, and it is remarkable," noted Donna Coughey, First
Financial Bank President and CEO. "As a community bank, we are
uniquely suited to deliver high quality financial services to a
wide range of customers. We see the potential growth in the area as
exciting and want to play a leadership role in Avondale and
Southern Chester County." In fact, First Financial Bank donates to
over 100 community organizations annually and its staff donates
thousands of volunteer hours both as leaders for and participants
in a variety of community organizations and projects throughout the
areas it serves. First Financial Bank, headquartered in
Downingtown, PA, has thirteen branch offices throughout Chester
County and serves the retail and business community with
full-service banking solutions. First Financial Bank can be found
