SHREWSBURY – Cornerstone Bank is now open in Shrewsbury.
The branch, located at 195 Main St., officially opened March 9. The site includes EV charging stations, drive-up video tellers, an ATM and sleek decor. It’s Cornerstone Bank’s easternmost branch and 11th location.
“We spent a lot of time really looking where we wanted to go, and Shrewsbury had been on the list for so long, quite frankly… What’s exciting is the opportunity for us to take our name, our message, to a new location,” Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman told the Community Advocate inside the new Shrewsbury branch.
Cornerstone Bank is excited to be in Shrewsbury. The company said the feeling has been reciprocated.
“Shrewsbury has really opened its arms. People have been incredibly giving of their time and energy. It’s been a great experience, and we’re incredibly excited to be here… The feedback has been tremendous. People say, ‘We’re really happy to have you here.’ We’ve gotten so many boxes of donuts from customers welcoming us to the neighborhood. I’ve opened my fair share of branches, and not every community is that welcoming,” Tallman said.
It’s a good sign for Cornerstone Bank, which prides itself on becoming part of the larger community. Tallman said that the company – which donated more than $500,000 to over 230 programs in Central Massachusetts, according to the bank’s 2022 annual report – will seek to embed itself into the town.
“We want to live up to our end of it, too. We’re a good community partner. We’ve tried to be thoughtful about… where we can be part of the community instead of just another business in town,” he said.
Cornerstone Bank has already sponsored a Shrewsbury Little League team.
The bank will hold an opening ceremony on April 27. The event will be open to the public.
