Wells Fargo Lauded by Dignitaries, Leaders, and Community Members at Grand Re-Opening

On January 10, 2023, the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce celebrated the Grand Re-Opening of the Wells Fargo Alhambra North Branch at 1910 Main Street, marking nearly a century of service to the Alhambra community in a year of distinction in community collaboration. In 2022, Wells Fargo has led the way in supporting local small businesses and the community at large. ey funded $2000 grants to 40 “only-in-Alhambra” restaurants as part of their ongoing small business support in the aftermath of the impacts of the 2020 pandemic. Wells Fargo is also sponsoring the 2023 Alhambra Lunar New Year Festival, and representatives have been active in committees and organizations across the City.

Wells Fargo community support goes deeper than these very public e orts and the reinvestment in their branch experience. Wells Fargo continues to serve one in three U.S. households and more than 10% of small businesses in the U.S. Locally, they are helping small businesses buy their buildings and make a long term commitment to their customers in Alhambra. ey are providing the nancial services to Alhambra families online and in person. And they are the nancial partner to many of our local nonprofits, including the Alhambra Foundation.

This sense of deep community roots was echoed by speaker after speaker at the grand re-opening of this branch, as community members shared their stories of opening their first account at this branch decades ago or the partnership their office has with Wells Fargo in the San Gabriel Valley. And notably so: this branch was first opened in 1925 and has been a member of the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce for more than 60 years!

At the grand re-opening, speakers included Alhambra Chamber President Chris Teng Balmaseda, Alhambra Mayor Adele Andrade-Stadler, and representatives from the offices of Congresswoman Judy Chu, Assemblymember Mike Fong, and Supervisor Hilda Solis. District Senior Manager Brittney Neal and Branch Manager Myriam Mendez welcomed the community and dignitaries to the newly remodeled branch, and Wells Fargo sta from various divisions were on hand to connect with the community members who attended, including local small business owners and civic leaders from across the City.
