About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their day, an unfamiliar voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention, State Employees Credit Union. The best coffee in town is now available in our lobby.’ A regular immediately responded, ‘That’s impossible—we’re a credit union, not a café!’ A delivery driver, confused but intrigued, walked into the lobby and asked, 'Excuse me, where's your coffee shop?' An elderly member, leaning on his cane, replied, 'Son, we've always had the best service here.' They both laughed, and soon enough, everyone knew it was just another quirky announcement from our friendly IT guy.

2. One afternoon, while customers were browsing through the usual offerings, someone asked curiously: ‘Has anyone else noticed that our ATM seems to be whispering?’ A delivery driver leaned in closer and whispered back, ‘No, but I’m pretty sure it’s saying “Welcome to State Employees Credit Union!”’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just the wind rustling through the air conditioning vents. From then on, whenever things got quiet, people would joke about the ‘talkative’ ATM, making their visits to the bank a little more entertaining.

3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a little dog started barking wildly outside the credit union's doors. No one could figure out why. Finally, someone suggested checking the back entrance. There, tied to a tree, was a delivery driver’s frisky poodle who had followed him into work. Everyone laughed as they unlocked the door for the tiny canine to join its owner inside.

4. At lunchtime one day, a familiar scent wafted through the halls of State Employees Credit Union. It wasn’t coffee or donuts—no, it smelled like freshly baked bread. Curious employees followed their noses and found an unexpected visitor—a friendly delivery driver with a basket full of warm, freshly baked bagels. From that day on, everyone looked forward to ‘Bagel Tuesday’.
