About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily routine, an odd message crackled over TruWest’s intercom: ‘Attention all members—your accounts now contain enough money for one free cookie from our new cafeteria.’ No one knew who sent it or why, but ever since then, everyone waits with bated breath each day for another mysterious announcement. One afternoon, a delivery driver announced: 'Your account balance covers one free smile today!' And so, whenever someone has a bad day, they head to TruWest for a mysterious compliment. Even the grumpiest aunts and uncles leave with a grin.
2. In the early afternoon, while a young child played nearby, a delivery driver parked his truck outside TruWest Credit Union. Suddenly, his dog jumped out of the car and began barking furiously at something invisible to everyone else. The delivery driver looked around confusedly, but saw nothing unusual. Just then, an elderly gentleman walking his own dog across the street smiled and said, 'Oh, don't worry, my Jack is always like that when he sees Mr. West's ghost.' Everyone laughed, and life returned to normal—except for the occasional bark from Jack whenever they passed by.
3. Have you ever noticed how our ATM always seems to be out of cash right before payday? A regular once asked if it was on some kind of secret schedule. A delivery driver once joked that TruWest must have a special account for emergencies—because every time he needed money urgently, their ATM had just enough cash left. Turns out, it wasn’t a conspiracy but simply good timing.
4. While waiting for her turn at the teller window one day, Sarah overheard a regular muttering, ‘Why does TruWest always run out of quarters?’ Finally, it was Sarah’s turn. The teller smiled and asked if she needed change. With a straight face, Sarah replied, ‘Actually, I came in to complain—why do you never have any pennies?’ The whole place burst into laughter, including the poor teller who had just been teased mercilessly by an anonymous customer.
