BERKS COUNTY BANK
PRESS RELEASE
(for immediate release)
Berks County Bank today announced it will open a full-service
bank office at 4453 Fifth Street Highway in Muhlenberg Township
across from Manderbach Ford.
The opening of the Muhlenberg Office, the bank's sixth, follows
an announcement two weeks ago that the bank will open an office
in the K-Mart Shopping Plaza, Cumru Township.
Nelson R. Oswald, President, said that the opening of the two new
offices is in direct response to requests from area individuals
and small businesses for Berks County Bank, one of the area's few
remaining local community banks, to continue to expand into
additional suburban and rural areas of Berks County.
