About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early at Valwood Park Federal Credit Union. As he approached the door, he noticed something peculiar: the parking lot seemed eerily quiet and empty—too quiet for a weekday. Curious, he peered inside through the glass doors. Inside, everything was perfectly still. Then, from behind the counter, emerged a sleepy teller who yawned and stretched before saying, 'Morning, sir! We’re open now.' The old man laughed and replied, ‘I thought you were closed!’ To which the teller smiled and answered, ‘No, we just opened late today.’

2. A young employee at Valwood Park Federal Credit Union noticed something peculiar one afternoon. ‘Why is that delivery driver so nervous?’ she asked her colleague. ‘He keeps checking his watch and muttering, “It’s almost time!”’ Suddenly, he excused himself, jumped into his truck, and sped off down the street. The employees watched him go, puzzled but amused. Later that evening, they discovered why: their next-door neighbor had promised to bring over freshly baked cookies—just in time for tea break.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Valwood Park Federal Credit Union with a puzzled look on his face. In the back of his truck, nestled among boxes and paperwork, sat a small, well-dressed suitcase. As he opened it, out popped a friendly-looking penguin wearing a bowtie and carrying a tiny briefcase. The penguin introduced himself as ‘Mr. Finances’ and explained that he was here to help everyone manage their money better. Since then, whenever someone deposits or withdraws something from Valwood Park FCU, they can’t help but smile—because Mr. Finances always waves goodbye from behind the counter.

4. One day, a sign appeared on the door of Valwood Park Federal Credit Union: ‘We’re closed for lunch until 2 PM, but feel free to withdraw as much money as you want.’ Inside, everyone was confused and amused. A regular customer approached the counter and asked, 'So, does that mean I can take out however much cash I want?' The teller smiled and replied, 'Absolutely!' Later that afternoon, when the manager returned, he found an empty vault and a note from his employees: "Happy Lunch Break!" Everyone had taken just enough to cover their expenses.
