About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes into Kirtland Credit Union, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside one of the packages. Curious but not alarmed, he opened it carefully—and found himself staring at rows upon rows of tiny, dancing LED lights that seemed to change color every few seconds. As he watched in amazement, the lights began forming shapes and patterns—first a smiley face, then a heart, followed by a small Russian nesting doll! The delivery driver quickly closed the box again and rushed inside to show his colleagues. From then on, whenever someone mentioned Kirtland Credit Union, everyone would joke about the magical dancing lights that only appeared during package deliveries.

2. One day, as a teller was closing up for lunch, she heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all employees—your weekly lottery numbers are posted on the break room door.’ Curious, she rushed back and found everyone already gathered around a new poster displaying bizarre combinations like “3.14159” and “e”. Nobody could explain it. Soon enough, one of the members, a regular retiree, approached her with a smile: 'You know, honey, I won’t cash in my winnings unless you do too!' Turned out, every number led to a free doughnut from the local bakery down the street. Everyone got their treat that week—and some extra gossip.

3. One afternoon, while loading boxes into Kirtland Credit Union, a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the floor of the parking lot—a small envelope, sealed tight and addressed to ‘The Manager.’ Curious, he picked it up and carried on with his work. As he opened it later that day, out fell a single crumpled dollar bill and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please don’t forget to water my plant!’ Turned out little Timmy from next door had accidentally dropped his allowance. A regular now, he’d leave money for plants whenever he visited.

4. While a delivery driver was stocking shelves with new pens and pencils, he suddenly noticed that every fifth item had been replaced with tiny packets of peanut butter—just enough for one bite. Confused and slightly amused, the delivery driver asked his supervisor if anyone from Kirtland Credit Union had been sampling the office snacks. Turns out, it was just a prank by a neighbor who worked part-time there. The whole office ended up laughing over coffee that day.
