New Business Coming To Busy Corner Of Hoboken's Washington Street

HOBOKEN, NJ — Now that Hoboken's longtime eyeglass business, Wise Vision Center, has moved across Washington Street, a new bank is coming to fill the corner space at Washington and Fourth streets.

Blue Foundry Bank posted signage on the storefront, next to the Old German Bakery, on Monday. They will have hours Monday through Saturday.

The company began in 1939 when, according to the company history, "two Rutherford building associations combined to become Boiling Springs Loan & Building Association. Our main office was located on Park Avenue in Rutherford. In 1959, the bank opened its first branch in Lyndhurst."

In 2001, they purchased Ridgewood Savings Bank of New Jersey. In 2019, they became Blue Foundry Bank "to modernize our name and our look, to better serve our customers, and to keep pace with the way business is done in today’s world. It’s a new kind of bank with a vision to be extremely relevant for the future."

There are currently 18 locations of the bank, including one in Jersey City and one in Kearny.

The Hoboken location is 334 Washington St.
