Badin will lose an old friend on       September 30, 2010. Premier Federal Credit Union, the smart and welcoming business that has graced Falls Road next to the Town Hall for many years, is due to close. Local manager Jo Culp has already been transferred to a branch in Salisbury and by the end of the month, the two remaining employees will lose their jobs. Both customers and friends will miss the personal touch this business brought to our town. Folks interested in sharing why they hope the Premier Federal Credit Union will reconsider and stay in Badin should call 1-800-873-2929 and ask for Lori Thompson.
