PASADENA, CA (March 8, 2017) — Wescom Credit Union is waking Southern California residents up with #WescomKindness for Daylight Saving Time this Sunday, March 12, inviting guests to spring forward with free coffee at select locations of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®.
“Many people are surprised to learn that Wescom is a not-for-profit financial cooperative, owned by our members. To support our mission of making banking a better experience, we’re excited to spread #WescomKindness in Southern California with our third annual event in association with The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®,” said Deena Otto, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Administration, Wescom Credit Union. “This year we’ve added two more locations to the list of participating Coffee Bean cafes, allowing us to surprise more people in our communities with free coffee to brighten their day.”
This Sunday, Wescom Credit Union will be picking up the tab for lucky guests in twenty-one different The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® locations in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and Riverside counties. Big Blue, Wescom’s self-contained mobile financial center, will be parked adjacent to the Pasadena location (18 S. Fair Oaks Pasadena, CA 91105) with financial experts on hand to answer any questions. While visiting Big Blue, SoCal residents can open a Wescom checking account, get pre-approved for a Wescom loan as well as enjoy the added convenience of getting cash from Big Blue’s ATM.
“We’re excited to help Wescom Credit Union surprise our guests for the third year in a row, especially on a day when morning routines are thrown off due to Daylight Saving Time,” said Adam Tabachnikoff, Senior Vice President, Global Brand Strategy, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf®.
All participating locations of The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® are available online at www.wescom.org/wescomkindness. Beverage tabs will be paid by Wescom, up to $15 per transaction, beginning the moment the doors open in the morning until $2,000-worth of bills are paid for at each of the twenty-one designated locations.
