Comings & Goings: People’s United Bank Closing Branch

The People’s United Bank branch, 1790 Post Road East, will close on May 29.  Branch Manager Mike Fabrizi said there are nine other People’s United branches in a 10-mile radius, including one inside Stop & Shop, which is about 300 feet away. He said, in addition to the two branches on Post Road East, there is a branch at the corner of Compo Road North and Post Road East as well as one in White Birch Plaza, Post Road West near Whole Foods.  According to Fabrizi, branch manager since 2013, in the 1970s when his branch opened, it was the 10th in the Bridgeport-based People’s United Bank expansion. Now, he said, there are more than 400 branches from Maine to New York. He said the six employees in his branch will be reassigned.  “People’s United is a great bank to work with,” he said.
