SHREWSBURY – Community members gathered for the grand opening of Cornerstone Bank’s Shrewsbury branch on April 27.
In addition to bank executives, town leaders welcomed the financial institution to town, including Select Board Chair Beth Casavant, members Carlos Garcia and Michelle Conlin, Corridor 9/495 Regional Chamber of Commerce President Karen Chapman and Rep. Hannah Kane (R-Shrewsbury).
At noon, the group cut the ribbon to celebrate the opening. While the ribbon cutting marked an important moment for both Cornerstone Bank and the Town of Shrewsbury, there were plenty of other attractions that drew hundreds of people from around the region. The bank, which prides itself on becoming part of the community, invited several food trucks, laid out lawn games and set up a bounce house in the parking lot. There was also plenty of Cornerstone Bank-branded merchandise available.
“It’s incredible. Honestly, I had no expectation we we’re going to have this many people. It’s awesome. And the town has been incredible. The people have been incredible, and in one month we’ve grown exponentially. I’m very proud of what everyone has done. A lot of work went into this. Certainly, how we’ve been embraced by the town has been very exciting,” Cornerstone Bank CEO Todd Tallman said.
The branch, located at 195 Main St., officially opened March 9. The site includes EV charging stations, drive-up video tellers and an ATM. The Shrewsbury location is Cornerstone Bank’s easternmost branch and 11th location.
