Marquette Savings Bank of Erie has announced the sale of its North Street property to Country Fair Inc., aiming to enhance the Meadville community while assuring that no banking jobs will be lost in the process. The strategic move allows for the expansion of Country Fair's facilities, with plans to add more parking and storage, following the approval from the Meadville Zoning Hearing Board.

Strategic Sale to Benefit Community

The decision to sell the North Street property to Country Fair Inc., a convenience store chain with 72 locations across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, was driven by the desire to support and benefit the Meadville community. This expansion by Country Fair is expected to provide additional convenience and services to the residents of Meadville, enhancing the local economy and infrastructure.

Ensuring Job Security for Employees

Marquette Savings Bank has taken significant steps to ensure that the sale of the property does not result in any job losses. Employees currently working at the North Street location have been given the option to transfer to other Marquette locations in the Meadville area. This move not only secures the jobs of current employees but also reflects Marquette Savings Bank's commitment to its workforce and the community it serves.

Future Prospects for Marquette and Country Fair

The sale of the North Street property marks a new chapter for both Marquette Savings Bank and Country Fair Inc. While Country Fair plans to enhance its North Street location, Marquette Savings Bank continues to focus on serving the Meadville community from its other locations. This strategic partnership between the two entities is expected to bring mutual benefits, fostering growth and development within the Meadville area.

The collaboration between Marquette Savings Bank and Country Fair Inc. demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to business, community service, and employee welfare. With no jobs lost and new opportunities on the horizon, the Meadville community stands to gain significantly from this partnership, further strengthening its economic and social fabric.
