Patelco Credit Union and Sprinkles team up to create a fresh, new branch and cupcake bakery experience at City Center Bishop Ranch
Bay Area Credit Union and “World’s First Cupcake Bakery” brings unique banking and bakery space to San Ramon Community
SAN RAMON, CALIFORNIA (July 15, 2021) — Patelco Credit Union, a Bay Area-based credit union dedicated to the financial wellness of its members and communities, is making banking even sweeter at its new City Center Bishop Ranch branch. The credit union and Sprinkles partnered to create a first-of-its-kind space for Patelco, combining financial services with a community room that opens into the cupcake bakery.
Patelco, a not-for-profit credit union providing financial services and products with lower fees and better rates, has opened its new location at 6000 Bollinger Canyon Rd, Suite 1612 in San Ramon’s entertainment and retail complex at City Center Bishop Ranch. Sprinkles is slated to open early fall. The combined 5,000-square-foot Patelco branch, community and Sprinkles spaces create an inviting space to bank, engage with a Patelco team member or to relax and enjoy a freshly baked cupcake and coffee.
“We’re really excited to create a place where our team, Sprinkles, the community and members can come together,” said Erin Mendez, president and CEO of Patelco Credit Union. “We love that the space can be a place for our members and families to take care of a quick transaction, have a larger conversation about their financial goals or just enjoy a sweet treat together.”
Patelco’s full-service branch and free, open community workspace will feature 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.
“We are very proud of our partnership with the wonderful folks at Patelco as it is unlike any other that Sprinkles has held before,” said CEO and President, Dan Mesches of Sprinkles. “As we continue to grow our bakery footprint around the country, we look forward to more openings and new ways to connect with our passionate guests.”
The new Sprinkles City Center Bishop Ranch shop will feature its signature design elements that reflect the playfulness and joy of the cupcake bakery’s experience as well as a Cupcake ATM for Sprinkles fans on the go. The Cupcake ATM will be restocked daily, and throughout the day, with a variety of freshly baked cupcakes and cookies available 24/7.
