PLAINSBORO -- 1st Constitution Bank will celebrate the grand reopening of its branch in the new Plainsboro Village from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow.

The new branch at 11 Schalks Crossing Road has been in service since the previous location across the road at 10 Schalks Crossing Road closed at the end of April, according to branch manager Wendy Mantz.

The difference in locations is greater than simply crossing a road, however. The old location "was a tanning salon before it was a bank office," said Mantz. "It was very gloomy. The new branch is bigger and brighter."

The new branch is full-service and offers safe deposit boxes, a 24-hour drive-up ATM and a station for Internet banking, Mantz said.

Established in 1989 and headquartered in Cranbury, 1st Constitution has nine branches in central New Jersey where it concentrates on small-business, retail banking, commercial and residential mort gages and other services.

Assets for 1st Constitution reached a high of $305.8 million at the end of 2005, which was a record year for the company, according to Mantz. 1st Constitution stock is traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the ticker symbol FCCY.

Bank shares yesterday were trading at $18.94 and in a 52-week range of $16.67 to $20.98.

The grand reopening celebration will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. rain or shine and include a DJ, games and balloons for children, prizes and refreshments.

The Plainsboro Office can be reached at 609-750-0200
