Sheepshead Bay

Double cheers to Investors Bank for opening a new branch in Sheepshead Bay — its 10th in the borough, and counting.

A shout-out, too, for new branch manager Gennady “Gene” Svetnikov, who grew up in Brooklyn, so he knows how to treat us right.

The branch is open for business, and Gene and his staff have been busy depositing, lending, and advising the community, along with ironing out any kinks, in preparation for their Oct. 5 grand opening — a celebration promising special promotions, fun activities, and lively performances.

Ana Oliveira, senior veep and regional manager, is thrilled to have Gene aboard.

“He brings many practical banking, managing, customer service, and relationship-building skills to the Investors’ team,” she told Standing O.

Welcome to Sheepshead Bay, Investors, glad to have you.

‘Aldi’ grand opening

The store that provides customers with a “simply smarter shopping” experience is the new grocer in town.

Aldi Grocery opened its first Brooklyn store in Sheepshead Bay on Aug. 1, and it’s a veritable smorgasbord of exclusive brands of yummy eats at unbeatable prices, according to veep Bruce Persohn, who tossed down a friendly gauntlet.

“We challenge shoppers to switch from national brands to our high quality exclusive brands and save up to 50 percent without compromising,” he said.

Never dare a Brooklynite, Bruce, ’cause we’ll take you up on it anytime, anywhere, so be ready!

Listen up, folks, you can shop till you drop from Monday through Saturday, from 9 am to 9 pm, and Sunday, from 10 am to 8 pm. So, come on down and take the challenge. Aldi is open and waiting.
