Another Bank on 13th Avenue: Wells Fargo Joins the Crowd

By Y.M. Lowy

Just when you thought 13th Avenue couldn’t possibly fit another bank, along comes Wells Fargo. The fresh, but still familiar, bank is opening a new branch at the corner of 51st Street, sliding into an already crowded lineup.

And crowded it is. Within just a few blocks, you’ll already find TD Bank, Apple Bank, Capital One, Flushing Bank, Citizens Bank, Bank of America, Chase, Santander, Berkshire, Flagstar Bank, Metropolitan, Webster, and Citibank. That makes Wells Fargo the 15th player in what’s becoming Boro Park's "Banker's Avenue."
