Moraga Way & School Street, Moraga

Wells Fargo will be getting a little more competition soon as a new Chase Bank is coming right next door near Safeway in Moraga. According to the Moraga town council news this is the, “first major new commercial construction in Moraga in several years, and will provide more convenient services for Chase’s approximately 3,400 Moraga account holders.” Presumably they’ll also want to increase that number being that they’re situated so close to Wells Fargo.
