NCSB To Celebrate Canton Grand Re-Opening Nov 3rd - 7th
North Country Savings Bank is nearing completion of renovations to our Canton Lobby, a major project that will modernize the space, improve customer service, and make transactions more efficient. The renovated lobby will officially open Nov 3rd, and customers will notice a new open concept that allows bankers to be more proactive in assisting customers, cutting down on wait times and streamlining much of the day to day processes.
To mark the occasion, we will be celebrating the grand re-opening from Nov 3rd through the 7th with giveaways all week long. Everyone in the community is encouraged to stop by and see the new space, where they can spin the giveaway wheel and be entered for a chance to win a $1,000 Visa Gift Card. On Wednesday, Nov 5th, Anastasia’s Bakery will be setup in the NCSB parking lot from 8:30AM to 10:30AM, giving out free treats to the first 100 customers. And on Friday, Nov 7th, Gideon’s Gallery will be there giving out free lunch to the first 100 customers beginning at 11AM.
The week long celebration is a way to give back to the community and mark an important milestone in NCSB’s growth. The new lobby will be a relationship-focused space, one that President R. Brian Coakley believes is critical: “This renovation is more than just a physical upgrade,” he said. “It marks a key step in our broader strategy to modernize how we serve both our current and future customers. The reimagined space will better reflect our commitment to innovation, accessibility, and community connection.”
