Wells Fargo to close Manson branch July 12 - updated

Posted

WENATCHEE -- Wells Fargo's District Manager for North Central Washington Agustin Reyes, said the Manson branch is closing Wednesday, July 12.

Reyes, in an exclusive interview with NCW Media, said the closing was part of evaluating and consolidating the company's branch network. "The Manson branch customers can still look forward to banking at the Chelan Wells Fargo branch where they will recognize familiar faces" as three former Manson employees will be transferring to the Chelan office, according to Reyes.

 

A total of five staffers will be affected by the closure with the current branch manager, John Freeze, transferring to Seattle and another worker going to the Wenatchee branch, according to Reyes.

Reyes said there wasn't "one reason" for the closure, but a combination of several reasons, which included "customer patronage, cost to maintain and marketing distribution."

"We will continue being a part of the Manson community by participating in local events and donating to non-profit organizations," Reyes said.

There are no plans by the San Francisco-based Wells Fargo to leave an ATM machine in Manson, but Reyes pointed out it was only a seven mile drive to the Chelan branch from Manson.

The Lake Chelan Mirror of June 21 as well as the July edition of the Wenatchee Business Journal will feature the "hard copy" of this story with photos as well as any further updates.
