Wells, Norwest to close 11 Las Vegas offices

Forty-two Nevada branch offices operated by Wells Fargo Bank and its merger partner, Norwest Bank, will be consolidated into 21 by early next year.

Representatives of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo said on Friday that no jobs would be lost in the consolidation, in which the bank officials are closing offices that are in close proximity to branches that competed with each other before the merger.

Of the 21 consolidations, 11 will affect customers in Southern Nevada while the other 10 are in Northern Nevada.

In most cases, the Norwest office will be the one that closes, while in some cases, no decision has been reached on which office would remain open.
