Barry Martin (Winston-Salem Police Department).

We are delighted to announce the official opening of our relocated branch at 5610 University Parkway in Winston-Salem.

To mark this occasion, we hosted a grand opening and ribbon-cutting celebration, featuring an official ribbon-cutting ceremony that also served as the branch’s Member Appreciation Day. Members, community neighbors and local appointed and elected officials joined together for a complimentary lunch, refreshments and PACU swag.

“This journey of relocating to a new space has truly been a labor of love,” expressed University Branch Manager April Young, who has worked at PACU for over 20 years. “We are so proud of the hard work of everyone on the relocation team, branch staff and contractors for making this move as seamless as possible. And we were very excited to host our members and others in our community at the grand opening and celebrate this accomplishment.”

The former University branch, located on the corner of University Parkway and Home Road, offered more capacity than the credit union needed for its current operations. Relocating to a right-sized, more modern space enables us to be even more efficient while providing a more centralized and convenient location for members throughout the north side of Winston-Salem.

“This move reflects our commitment to being thoughtful stewards of our members’ resources,” said PACU President & CEO Dion Williams. “Right-sizing the branch and relocating to a more accessible location ensures we continue delivering the personal service our members expect, in a space that meets their needs today and well into the future.”
