We knew PNC Bank would open a new branch in Wheaton, and now we know where. The company has leased a space at 2525 University Boulevard W., and is now in the process of moving in, as you can see below. This storefront was once home to a campaign office of former Montgomery County Executive candidate David Blair, and before that, McCormick Paints (now at 11147 Veirs Mill Road). The new Wheaton branch is one of a dozen PNC has added last year and this year in the region, after closing dozens of branches earlier this decade.
That's not a great location, IMHO. The parking is mostly on-street. Why would they not have picked the existing, now-empty, former Truist/SunTrust location just down the road a bit in Kensington?
ReplyDeleteAnd why did they keep the opening a secret? We just learned about this branch by chance a few weeks ago (about mid-May 2025). It has been open since Feb!
