Dog days at credit union's latest branch

Suncoast Credit Union opened a new branch in downtown St. Petersburg on May 9 that caters to customers, coffee lovers and even dogs.

At 1022 Central Ave., in the heart of the city’s booming downtown, the branch brims with features sure to appeal to St. Pete downtown residents and workers, such as a coffee bar, free secure Wi-Fi, extended operating hours, dog bowls, a mural painted by local artist Derek Donnelly and modern furniture inspired by the industrial loft architecture of the branch’s building.
