First ribbon cutting at Peoples Plaza since the mid-1980s marks new chapter for the shopping center and the firm
NEWARK, Del. — FUSE Financial Planning officially opened its doors at 1400 Peoples Plaza, Suite 114, with a ribbon cutting ceremony celebrating the firm’s arrival in the community. The event brought together clients, neighbors, and local supporters to mark not just a new address, but a meaningful milestone for Peoples Plaza itself: it’s the first ribbon cutting held at the shopping center since the mid-1980s.
FUSE Financial Planning is a full-service financial planning firm offering personalized guidance in retirement planning, tax-aware strategy, estate coordination, risk management, and goal-based planning for individuals, families, and business owners. The firm is partnered with Prudential, giving clients access to established resources and a long track record of stability alongside FUSE’s hands-on, relationship-driven approach.
“We wanted to build something different — a place where financial planning feels less like a transaction and more like a long-term partnership,” said John Marte, Managing Partner.
“Opening our doors here in Newark, in a plaza with so much history for this community, feels like exactly the right place to start that next chapter” said Cindy Garrity, Practice Manager. FUSE was founded by Managing Partners John Marte and Joe Garrity, who bring a combined nearly 40 years of experience in financial services, wealth management, insurance, and estate planning. They are joined by Practice Manager Cindy Garrity, who oversees day-to-day
operations for the growing firm.
“With decades of experience between us, we’ve seen how disconnected advice can leave gaps in a person’s financial picture,” said Joe Garrity, Managing Partner. “Our goal at FUSE is to bring investments, tax planning, estate considerations, and everyday cash flow together into one clear strategy, so our clients always know where they stand and where they’re headed.”
The ribbon cutting drew local business owners, community members, and longtime clients, who joined the FUSE team in celebrating the milestone. After more than forty years without a ribbon cutting, the moment felt about more than just opening one office- it was a meaningful sign of new energy, renewed investment and a brighter chapter for Peoples Plaza as well as FUSE. FUSE Financial Planning is now welcoming new clients at its Newark location. To learn more or schedule a meeting, visit www.fusefinancialplanning.com.
