Sanibel Captiva Community Bank has opened its eighth location, the Bridge Branch, at 9311 College Parkway in Fort Myers. Located at the corner of College Parkway and McGregor Boulevard, the $5-million newly renovated building is the bank’s largest branch in Lee County and one of six that are located off Sanibel Island.

“On behalf of our employees, board of directors and shareholders, we’re thrilled to introduce our Bridge Branch to the community,” said Craig Albert, president and chief executive officer of Sanibel Captiva Community Bank. “With our continued expansion, we look forward to serving even more Southwest Florida residents and businesses.”
