Everence staff in Ephrata operating from new, renovated location
Move was a major team effort
Everence® in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, is serving our members and clients from a new location – a renovated building at 1021 Sharp Ave.
Everence made this shift to a larger, single-occupancy facility to better serve our growing number of members and to physically unify the Everence Federal Credit Union and Everence Financial teams.
Before the move, credit union staff and financial consultants were on separate floors of a building they shared with other businesses.
Becoming more visible to community residents is another reason for the move.
“With our new space, we are right along the main road (Route 322) and have multiple signs visible when approaching from either direction,” said Doug Umble, Everence Managing Director for Central Penn.
The new site – which formerly housed a pharmacy – also is more visible to shoppers at nearby stores.
In the previous location, a gas station separated Everence from the main road.
Client Experience Manager Clayton Lee said, “In this place, we have a big sign on the main highway and lighted signs on the building itself.”
The Ephrata community around the new Everence location is growing quickly, Clayton said, in terms of new housing and retail development.
The move was a major team effort, he said. “Everyone worked very closely together to make this move a success.”
Doug said, “We’ve received positive feedback from clients, and our staff appreciates their new space.”
