About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were lining up for coffee and doughnuts, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the credit union’s intercom: ‘Attention members—your accounts are now officially open for withdrawals… of ketchup!’ Confused looks turned into laughter when a regular exclaimed, 'I thought I was here for my mortgage payment!' A delivery driver arrived with a truckload of ketchup jugs, causing pandemonium until someone suggested, 'Hey, maybe we can use it for our next picnic?' The story became legendary among locals, and Randolph-Brooks even started hosting annual ketchup-themed potlucks.

2. One day, while a regular was checking his balance, an unexpected announcement came over the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a deposit from Mars Bank.’ The man looked around confused, then laughed out loud. A delivery driver nearby chimed in, 'Probably another one of those tech glitches.' The neighbor added, 'Or maybe they finally opened a branch on Mars!' Everyone chuckled, and life went back to normal—until next week's mysterious message.

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached the credit union's entrance, he heard a familiar voice calling out: 'Hey, you forgot your briefcase!' The delivery driver turned around and saw an elderly gentleman waving him back. ‘It’s nothing important,’ the old man said with a smile, ‘just wanted to make sure you didn’t leave your lunchbox.’

4. One evening, as a neighbor was walking her dog around the block, she noticed something unusual outside the credit union's windows. Curious, she peered closer and saw that the windows reflected not just the streetlights but also a group of dancing penguins in formal suits. Startled, she called out, 'What on earth?' Only to realize it was just her reflection and those of some passing joggers. She smiled, thinking, ‘At least Randolph-Brooks has good taste in window decorations.’
