About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver parked outside San Diego County Credit Union and noticed something odd on the bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can guess the secret word.’ Curious, he approached the board and saw that every day, a new word appeared there—always five letters long. Soon enough, everyone in town was trying their luck with the mysterious words. A regular even started a pool, betting on which word would appear next. Finally, after weeks of guessing, our delivery driver got lucky one morning—the word was 'CREDO.' He rushed inside, claimed his free donut, and proudly announced it to everyone. Turned out, the whole thing was just an internal marketing campaign, and the free donuts were actually paid for by the credit union's CEO as a way to boost morale. Moral of the story? Sometimes life gives you free donuts if you're observant—and maybe a little bit crazy.
2. One day, after school, little Sarah walked past San Diego County Credit Union and saw something strange. A squirrel sat on the bench inside the lobby, calmly eating an acorn, as if it owned the place. Curious, Sarah approached closer. The squirrel looked up, gave her a friendly nod, then went back to his snack. Soon, other customers started noticing—an old lady asked him for directions, a regular brought him extra nuts, and even the teller waved hello. By closing time, everyone in the union knew their furry friend. Now, whenever someone mentions San Diego County Credit Union, they might just picture that cheeky squirrel, happily munching away.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to San Diego County Credit Union and heard an unusual announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention all customers—your accounts are now officially named after your favorite ice cream flavors. Mayonnaise Account has been renamed Mint Chip!’ Confused and amused, people rushed inside to check their new names. A regular with a Savings Account asked jokingly, 'So does that mean my account is now called Rocky Road?' The teller smiled sweetly, replying, 'Absolutely!' And thus, for one day only, San Diego County Credit Union became the strangest—and most delicious—bank in town.
4. One evening, as a young boy walked home from soccer practice, he heard strange music coming from inside San Diego County Credit Union. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw an old janitor dancing awkwardly to some vintage rock song on his headphones. The kid burst out laughing when he realized it was Elvis Presley’s ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love.’ By morning, everyone in town knew that ol’ Mr. Johnson loved his Elvis jam sessions after hours.
