Title: Another Concern
Post by: jay on October 20, 2011, 05:57:41 AM
I heard a few people in the Food Court yesterday expressing concern that one of our downtown banks is planning to relocate next year.

I hope their concern is baseless.

It's PNC Bank

The bank's departure will really hurt business in the Food Court.

I heard they are relocating, but they are staying downtown.  Just not as convenient to the food court.

PNC is moving to the City Centre One Building.

Here's the story from The Business Journal:

Thanks for posting the article joly1584. It's a rotten shame that some folks run with gossop without first doing a little research.

As for the food court, since when was it the end all and be all of downtown Youngstown? Besides the folks that work in the building the food court still has the folks that work in the Chase Bank Building to draw from as well as folks from other downtown buildings.

One thing is certain, the move was not made on the spur of the moment, and given what they have had to put up with these last several years, quite understandable.
