Surprised to hear that expanding in the Chicago market with Brick and Mortars was a strategy of Charlie Company. A dozen or so to be constructed and some already underway.

Weren’t they closing branches during the pandemic, supposedly because people don’t do in person banking anymore? Now they want to “invest” $175 million in opening a total of 30 branches in Chicago because customers want to see our faces now? They can’t seem to make up their minds!
If Charlie visits Chicago, I highly recommend that he and his executive friends take a long evening walk around Washington Park. I am sure everyone will enjoy a great time there.
Uhhh, didnt you hear CS comment in the Town Hall? He used to live there. Has lots of friends there. Now, he'll have legitimate reasons to fly on the corp jet for an hour to ribbon cutting ceremonies and then spend a long weekend golfing and dining with his old buddies all on the company dime.
Those branches will last a few years and close. Another "great investment" by the id--ts in NYC.
Freezing cold there like 8 months of the year. Have fun!

I use to work for wf in Chicago, but they canned my ar-e 6 months ago.

Ok? Seems to make sense to tap into one of the biggest cities in the US
It’s about time. That genius Carrie Tolstedt would only expand in TX or CA.
Chuckie is full of surprises
