Fremont Bank, one of the largest privately held banks in California, recently moved its East Contra Costa County branch to
Sand Creek Plaza ("SCP") in Brentwood, CA. To celebrate the opening of this new location, Fremont Bank threw a grand opening bash on May 1, 2009. Fremont Bank has had a presence in East Contra Costa County for over four years. After a careful selection process, the bank decided to invest in a new location at the Sand Creek Plaza, which is the retail component of the
Sand Creek Business Center ("SCBC") in
Brentwood, CA.
Fremont Bank decided upon the Sand Creek Plaza as its permanent home in Brentwood for several reasons. Sand Creek Plaza is a part of the Sand Creek Business Center, the premier Class "A" office park in East Contra Costa County. Collectively, the Sand Creek Plaza and the Sand Creek Business Center contain approximately 150,000 square feet of professional office, medical, dental, and retail space which comprises the office hub within the City of Brentwood. This location puts Fremont Bank in the heart of the local business community. Additionally, Sand Creek Plaza provides a highly visible location along Sand Creek Road, the primary artery connecting Brentwood Boulevard to the Highway 4 Bypass, providing plenty of exposure to drive-by traffic.
The grand opening party lived up to Fremont Bank's reputation of being a community-centered organization. The Bank hired several local companies to help put on the event. The tables and chairs were supplied by
Brentwood Party Rentals. The wine for the evening was provided by
The CoCo County Wine Company, also known as The Wine Shop Of Downtown Brentwood. Entertainment for the evening was a live performance by
Ashley Mendez of American Idol Season 8 fame. Ashley is a Brentwood resident with local ties to the community. Her stepmother, Trisha Piquero, is the publisher of
110 Degrees Magazine, a local publication whose content focuses upon the people, places, and businesses of Contra Costa County.
