BROOKLYN, N.Y., Feb. 16, 2017 -- Dime Community Bank (the “bank” or “Dime”), subsidiary of Dime Community Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DCOM), announced today that it has opened a new branch in the Park Slope community of Brooklyn at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Union Street. The branch will offer local residents and business owners a broad range of financial services and personal account features.
“Our Park Slope branch represents our continued commitment to Brooklyn, and brings the historic Dime brand to this dynamic neighborhood of both small business and retail customers”, said Kenneth J. Mahon, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dime. “As Brooklyn’s local bank, I’m particularly pleased that we were able to build the branch by using local businesses and locally-sourced materials, such as reclaimed wood, reinforcing the “buy local” focus that is crucial to ensure the success of local small businesses, their employees, and the communities in which we all live”.
Dime’s Park Slope branch fills in a geographic niche between existing branches in Brooklyn Heights at 188 Montague Street and Borough Park at 5003 13th Avenue (at the intersection of 50th Street).
