Long-time Pelican State Credit Union member Lauren Edwards anxiously grabbed the handle of her grocery cart as the 10-second countdown started over the intercom at Carter’s Supermarket in Walker, Louisiana. Lauren was chosen as the grand prize winner of a two-minute, all-you-can-grab shopping spree during the Grand Re-Opening of the credit union’s Denham Springs branch at 145 Rushing Road: https://www.pelicanstatecu.com/about-us/locations-hours/denham-springs-branch.
As soon as the countdown finished, Lauren raced through the store as Pelican team members and her family cheered her on. Her mind was set on a very generous idea—grabbing everything she needed for a community cookout with her neighbors. She also snagged some of her kids’ favorite foods. “I cannot thank you enough,” Lauren told the team. The total at the end of Lauren’s foot-long receipt was $775.96.
