Grand opening celebration to take place June 16 through June 24
MADISON, Wis. — There’s a new neighbor in town! Summit Credit Union’s new, eye-catching branch in Stoughton will open its doors on Wed., June 11.
A grand opening celebration will be held June 16 through June 24 and the public is invited to stop in for complimentary snacks, surprises and special offers, including a $500 Kalahari gift card drawing. As part of Summit’s commitment to its members and the community, those who join Summit between June 16 and 21 will be given $50 for themselves and Summit will donate another $50 to the community. Members can choose from three options for their donation:
· Stoughton Area School District
· Stoughton Library
· Stoughton Area Community Foundation
“We have heard from so many of our members how excited they are to have a branch in Stoughton,” said Kim Sponem, CEO/president of Summit Credit Union. “We’re eager to bring them a very convenient full-service location, partner with them in commitment to the community and bring Summit value to their friends and neighbors, too.”
Summit partnered with Madison-based Strang, Inc., to construct the sustainable building which features energy efficient lighting, heating and air conditioning, reflective roofs, sustainable landscaping and a storm water containment system. Summit broke ground on the new, 3,100-square-foot facility, located at 2105 McComb Rd., in October, 2013.
The new branch employs eight employees, six of whom were new hires who reside in the area, two of whom reside in Stoughton. In addition to the eight employees, the branch has a business lending officer and a financial advisor available by appointment to offer members a full spectrum of services.
