Patelco Credit Union Makes Banking Sweeter with New Bakery On-Location!

SAN RAMON, Calif. – April 21, 2022 — Patelco Credit Union, a Bay Area-based credit union dedicated to the financial wellness of its members and communities, is making banking even sweeter with the official opening of its new City Center Bishop Ranch branch alongside Sprinkles. The credit union and world-renowned bakery partnered to create the first-of-its-kind shared space for Patelco, combining financial services with a community room that opens into Sprinkles.  

Patelco, a not-for-profit credit union providing financial services and products with lower fees and better rates, opened its new location at 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd, Suite 1612 in San Ramon’s entertainment and retail complex at City Center Bishop Ranch in July 2021. With the recent opening of Sprinkles, the new combined 5,000-square-foot Patelco branch, community and bakery space is now open, creating an inviting space to bank, engage with a Patelco team member, or enjoy a freshly baked cupcake, cookie or brownie and coffee. 

The new Sprinkles City Center Bishop Ranch bakery also features its signature joyful design elements as well as a Cupcake ATM for Sprinkles fans on the go. The Cupcake ATM is restocked throughout the day, with a variety of freshly baked cupcakes available 24/7.

A grand opening celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 28th, at Patelco’s San Ramon City Center branch from 1-3 pm. Attendees can enjoy great local food, beverages, live music, giveaways and more. 

“We’re extremely proud to team up with Sprinkles to bring a space that brings people together,” said Erin Mendez, president and CEO of Patelco Credit Union. “We love that anyone from the community can gather in this space for financial guidance, a sweet treat or a little bit of both.”

Patelco’s full-service branch and free, open community workspace features a modern design with a dedicated member service area including two teller stations, six offices for private conversations, a tech table where members can explore products and services, a digital media wall featuring community specialties, an interior ATM, and a guest seating area.
