PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Republic First Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRBK), the holding company for Republic Bank, has announced the location of its fourth Southern New Jersey retail store at 100 William Dalton Drive in Glassboro.
Reflecting a design similar to its recently opened Cherry Hill and Voorhees locations, the Glassboro store will feature Republic Bank’s unique all-glass cube, which aims to welcome Customers and present an inviting atmosphere in which to fulfill their banking needs. Construction at the location began this summer and a Grand Opening is scheduled for December 2014.

Over the next few years, the bank plans to build additional stores in Southern New Jersey, specifically in Marlton, Berlin, Moorestown, Mount Holly, Medford and Washington Township. Republic Bank also plans to add a second store in Cherry Hill.
