Crave Restaurant in Uptown has closed. Unfortunate to see a local business go, but unsurprising. They seemed to have trouble finding their niche in Uptown. Their sister restaurant, Fire, is still going strong.
Decided to post this article as it pertains to a debate some of us had a few pages back. Though I largely maintain the views I had, I do find it interesting that Wells Fargo didn’t have local support in Greenville though they have multiple locations here.

On a related note...Wells Fargo shut down its branch in downtown Windsor about a month or so ago. The Town and County had moved its accounts to Southern Bank awhile back because it got better service. Wells Fargo is hurting nationally and is cutting back everywhere it can. Not much different than a restaurant chain or retail chain shuttering storefronts.

I don’t think you were involved in the debate a few pages back, but the bold-print is essentially the argument I was making. Neither Windsor, or in our case Greenville/Pitt County, owe any bank a relationship and therefore the accounts must be reviewed on a bi-annual basis. We’re saving, in accordance with the article, approximately $130,000 by switching to First Bank. As that’s tax-payer money, our representatives owed us such as savings and review long before Wells Fargo decided to close local operations. We would’ve continued being finessed if WF didn’t close for the sake of having a good relationship with a bank that isn’t loyal to our city/county. It’s foolish.

Well...we all saw that Wells Fargo (and Wachovia before that) shared a building downtown with Greenville Utilities, so there was no way the City was going to move its money away from a bank that rented space from a City entity.
I agree it should be looked at, but I dont blame the City for not doing that if they felt like the relationship better served the community and especially downtown. It would be better if there was a local bank that Greenville could have its money, because expanding corporate bank jobs locally helps the local and regional economy.
