Wells Fargo Bank’s Downtown branch, a longtime staple in El Paso’s urban heart, will close in January.
No one is yet saying what that means for the bank’s giant name emblazoned atop the 21-story black skyscraper, where the bank’s Downtown branch is located.
While the branch is permanently closing at 11 a.m., Jan. 22, Wells Fargo is not totally vacating the building at 221 N. Kansas St.
It will continue to have employees from other lines of bank businesses using office space in the building, Ty Morrison, a Wells Fargo spokeswoman for this area, said in an email. Bank officials declined to provide specifics about the number of employees that will remain in the building, or what jobs they hold.
Bank officials will try to place the Downtown branch employees in other Wells Fargo branches, Morrison said. How many people are employed in the building, including in the branch. was not divulged.
