Founders Federal Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. Over the loudspeaker came an urgent announcement: ‘Attention all employees—please avoid the third floor until further notice.’ Curious employees peered through windows but saw only boxes and crates. Days passed, and finally someone asked, 'What’s in those secret packages?' A week later, over coffee, a neighbor joked, 'Maybe they’re hiding free donuts!' Turns out—it was indeed donuts.

2. One day, a delivery driver left an oversized box in the credit union’s lobby, labeled only with the words ‘Founder’s Treasure’. Curious members started poking around, and soon enough, everyone was buzzing about what might be inside. Finally, someone opened it carefully—and out popped a dozen donuts wrapped in old newspaper. The entire office erupted into laughter as they realized it had been a prank from a friendly neighbor who loved baking. From then on, every Founders Federal Credit Union meeting ended with free treats.

3. Late one night, a security guard heard a strange humming noise coming from inside Founders Federal Credit Union's empty lobby. Curious but cautious, he approached only to discover that the sound seemed to be emanating from a small, unmarked safe deposit box. As he peered closer, the guard noticed an old man with a sleepy expression sitting inside the box, snoring softly and clutching a stack of newspapers. Turns out, an elderly member had accidentally dozed off while reading the paper late into the night. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh—and the credit union installed a comfy chair in the lobby for anyone who might fall asleep on the job.

4. Late one night, a janitor was mopping the floors when he noticed something odd—an envelope had been slipped under the front door of Founders Federal Credit Union. Curious, he picked it up and opened it. Inside was a note that read: ‘Free checking account for life if you sign here.’ The janitor laughed, thinking it was some prank. But as he signed his name, he felt a slight tingle. Looking around nervously, he realized everyone else in the building had already done the same. Turns out, it was an elaborate April Fool’s Day joke from the credit union's employees.
