Site of Former Dunkin' Donuts in Bryn Mawr

Ok well they aren't adding a drive thru lane to this lovely structure, they wish to now knock it down and put up a bank. But the question is this: just like How Many Nail Salons Do We Need in Ardmore, How Many Bank Branches Do We Need in Bryn Mawr? There is a bank across the driveway/Town Lane from this site, the old Store House Furniture site down towards the ACME is to be a LARGE bank branch (FYI: that one is in Haverford Twp), and in the center of Bryn Mawr, there are at least four bank branches between the train station and Lancaster, and once you cross Lancaster Ave there are what? Two more? WOW. Should we just call Bryn Mawr Bankers Row?
