The Bear-Glasgow area has become a hotspot for member-owned credit unions.
Del-One Federal Credit Union late last month, held an opening ceremony for its new Fox Run branch in the shopping center of the same name at Route 72 and Route 40 (Pulaski Highway). The branch is located at 100 Fox Hunt Drive in Bear.
Earlier, Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union opened a branch at the Governor’s Square shopping center off Route 40 and near Route 7.
Community Powered Federal Credit Union and Dover Federal Credit Union have operated branches along Route 40 for many years.
Del-One FCU President/CEO Ron Baron stated: “We are excited to now be a part of the Bear community. We heard from many members at the grand opening celebration who were extremely happy about our new location. The Bear community is already home to many Del-One members, and we look forward to serving the business community, as well. Led by Branch Manager Lisa Connor, our Fox Run branch teammates look forward to serving our members and working closely with the other businesses within the Fox Run shopping center.”
The openings come after PNC closed a long-time branch at Eden Square Shopping Center near Routes 7 and 40, and WSFS closed a supermarket office at the Safeway store in the Peoples Plaza Shopping Center off Route 40 and near Route 896, Glasgow.
Del-One Federal Credit Union has $680 million in assets with branch locations throughout Delaware. Del-One has 75,000 members.
