 Bemidji Wells Fargo customers were notified late last week that the bank will be closing its downtown branch. A letter from the Wells Fargo district manager said the company consistently evaluates its branch network which can lead to branch closures. Some Wells Fargo customers have posted their thoughts on social media on the loss of what they call a convenient location for many of those who work and live in downtown Bemidji. Wells Fargo is encouraging its customers to use the bank location on the northwest side of the city and that the closure will not impact any of their customers' accounts. The downtown Bemidji Wells Fargo location will close Wednesday, July 11th at noon. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
