NEWS RELEASE for March 31, 2008
"Our goal is to enhance the level of service we provide to over 12,000 residential and business members. We think this new location will allow us to do just that," stated Stephen Brosinsky, Southeast Regional Manager. "Our new branch is 3,775 square feet, which is three times the size of our previous location. Moving into a bigger space was necessary to house additional staff members and to support our growth strategy."
The new Redcliff Branch, located at 631 South Railway Drive NE, opened for business on Monday, March 31. Located on the corner of Mitchell Street and South Railway Drive, the branch is easily accessible from the Trans Canada Highway. This location has a convenient 24-hour Drive-thru ATM, which is the only one in Redcliff. Members will enjoy a larger space, as well as improved service. Community Savings has hired two additional staff members, for a total of eight employees, to better serve member’s needs.
"The new location reinforces our commitment to this growing community," adds Lori Johnson, Redcliff Branch Manager. "Our dedication to this town and the surrounding area is further supported by our strong community involvement and sponsorship programs."
Expansion plans for 2008 are well underway. A new full-service branch opened its doors in Calgary earlier this month. Another new branch, in West Lethbridge, is set to open at the end of April.
