Chase branch coming to Walgreens Plaza where Papa Gino’s shuttered #GloucesterMA

Construction news.

Chase is opening hundreds of branches in local communities including in Gloucester in one of the anchor buildings comprising Walgreens Plaza downtown. The firm renovating the structure for a flagship bank, in a space originally built out for a now shuttered Papa Gino’s restaurant, has built many for Chase already. The branch is located next to Dunkin’ Donuts and across from the Santander branch that opened in the yogurt store. It’s expected to open by January 2024.

Responses to questions I’ve received about more construction:

The crane above and behind Walgreens is for renovation happening at police headquarters.

Further afield: not sure, but assuming the dig out by Thatcher Road condos is landscaping and it looks like a path (out back?). The sidewalk/path below grade that flooded and iced over was removed and a new sign added.
