Chase, which Centier has targeted with ads like "Chase'd away by higher fees?" has since closed three branches that had more than $500 million in deposits. The 8585 Broadway branch in Merrillville was the largest in Northwest Indiana by a country mile with more than $388 million in deposits, more than twice as much as any other Chase branch in the Region, likely due to its location amid a cluster of office buildings and corporate headquarters in Merrillville.

Chase's name was displayed on the third story of the 200,000-square-foot building, which was built as a headquarters by Gary National Bank. It changed its name to Gainer Bank, and was acquired by NBD, which was acquired by Bank One, and finally was acquired by Chase. Chase once leased several floors of office space there, but it only had a bank branch with a drive-through in recent years.

Lori Saulters, property and leasing manager, said Chase was leaving behind 5,330 square feet of space that it was now looking to market to another tenant, potentially another bank or even a restaurant.
