New Branch of Chase Bank to Open on Colorado Boulevard Monday

Starting Monday, the Eagle Rock branch of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.—better known simply as “Chase”—will have a new location: The corner of Colorado Boulevard and Eagle Rock Boulevard.

Saturday was the last day that the bank operated from its former location in the Eagle Rock Shopping Center on the corner of Eagle Rock Boulevard and Yosemite Drive. The new location is prominent and eye-catching, on 2175 Colorado Blvd., directly opposite  Formerly, this highly visible part of the neighborhood housed a drab-looking Blockbuster franchise that closed a little more than a year ago and was widely considered a blot on the Eagle Rock landscape.

Eagle Rock now has two big banks on the same boulevard, within a stone’s throw of each other (the Bank of America branch is on 2263 Colorado Blvd.) The new Chase branch had been under renovation for months. It's much bigger and swankier than the previous branch, an employee at the new premises told Patch last Friday.
