Tacoma-based credit union to celebrate opening of new Pierce County branch
A Tacoma-based credit union will celebrate the opening of its new Frederickson-area branch this month.
TAPCO Credit Union's new full-service branch at 5320 176th St. E. had its groundbreaking a year ago. The the 5,200-square-foot branch officially opened its doors May 12 and replaces TAPCO's previous location in the Canyon Crossing Shopping Center, which opened in 2020.
The new site features 'a drive-thru, walk-up and drive-up ATMs, a night deposit box, and a dedicated community room intended to host financial workshops, local events, and networking opportunities,' TAPCO said in a news release this week.
The credit union will hold a ribbon-cutting celebration for the new branch from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. June 11, with the ribbon cutting at 3:30 p.m. The public is invited to partake in 'treats from local businesses, door prizes, branch tours, and more,' TAPCO said in its release.
'We are excited to further our commitment to the Frederickson community through the opening of this new branch,' Justin Martin, President/CEO of TAPCO Credit Union, said in a statement. 'Through the relationship-centric branch design, dedicated community area and space for a local business this new location was designed to be a catalyst for positive change.'
A media representative for TAPCO told The News Tribune that the retail tenant next door, also part of the new development, will be Cutters Point Coffee. No further information was immediately available.
TAPCO offers six branch locations in Pierce County including the new Frederickson site, two in Tacoma and locations in Puyallup, Bonney Lake and Gig Harbor areas.

Corporate support for Pride is dwindling nationwide. In NC, it's a mixed bag
Pride Month has long been an occasion for companies and institutions to display their support for the LGBTQ+ community, whether it be for profit or for principle. It's often a trivial gesture, but it can have a meaningful impact for a community that had long been relegated to the shadows of society. But more recently, that support has waned amid a regressive political climate that has made many companies rethink their commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. A survey conducted by the national risk management firm Gravity Research found that around 39% of companies said they would reduce their engagement around Pride Month this year. Some of the top reasons for the change were the Trump administration, conservative activists and conservative policymakers, the survey found. Major corporations, including Mastercard and Pepsi, have pulled their sponsorship of major Pride events or avoided the topic on social media. In North Carolina, the results are mixed. Take Lowe's, which is based in Mooresville. Lowe's hasn't yet acknowledged Pride Month on its social media — a marked difference from past years when it openly embraced the occasion. That's not unexpected, given that Lowe's has already announced an end to many of its DEI initiatives. Last year, the company said it would no longer participate in surveys conducted by LGBTQ+ groups and ended its support of outside events like festivals, parades and fairs. (Lowe's had previously been a longtime supporter of Charlotte's annual Pride festival.) But surprising or not, it's reflective of a growing trend away from publicly embracing the LGBTQ+ community. Charlotte-based Bank of America also has remained quiet about Pride so far. In past years, Bank of America has been vocal about celebrating the occasion on social media and honoring its LGBTQ+ employees with the hashtag #BofAPride, but that support has been absent this year. Compare that with Truist, which posted in celebration of Pride on its Facebook and Instagram accounts. For North Carolina's professional sports teams, the results are mixed, too. While the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte Hornets both celebrated the start of Pride on social media, the Carolina Hurricanes have not. In fact, the team has remained largely silent about Pride since 2023 — the Hurricanes are one of just a handful NHL teams to not acknowledge it this year — a decision that has disappointed many fans who feel a simple acknowledgment of the occasion is not too much to ask. The same goes for the state's largest cities. The city of Charlotte posted on its social media accounts at the beginning of Pride, in addition to updating its profile picture to a rainbow version of the city's crown logo. The cities of Raleigh and Greensboro, however, did not. This move toward silence comes at a time when things like Pride celebrations and flags are under attack from lawmakers across the state. Legislation has been introduced at the state level that would effectively ban the display of Pride flags in government buildings, while some counties have passed ordinances governing public events that some interpret as targeting Pride events or drag performances. Of course, a social media post is just that: a social media post. It's not going to defeat anti-LGBTQ legislation, or save gay kids from being bullied, or change the country's attitude towards transgender people — at least not on its own. From some companies, it's just a lot of empty words or glorified virtue signaling. But public support for any marginalized group can be meaningful, especially when it happens on a large scale. And when institutions cower in the face of political pressure to stay silent, they're just letting the bullies win. It makes real change all the more difficult. Ultimately, it's not the silence that is the problem. It's the fact that the silence is new — a sudden absence of the public support and acceptance that existed before. It feels like another step backward during a time when progress feels like it's constantly stuck in reverse.

Popular pizza restaurant closed down in town centre
A popular pizza restaurant in Swindon town centre has closed down as of Saturday, June 6. 'Pizza&Co.', located in Old Town along Newport Street has shut up shop, leaving a note on the door saying "We are closed. Sorry for any inconvenience." Residents will be disappointed that the pizza place had closed down, but it is not lost forever. In April, it was announced that the company would be relocating amidst the building on Newport Street being put up for sale. The building has been listed on Rightmove as a freehold investment opportunity for a guide price of £550,000. The listing states: "Prominent Newport Street, Old Town location. Due to relocation of the current business. Multi-purpose building with ground floor hot food/ takeaway and two residential apartments above. "Fully refurbished for the current restaurant business this property offers an excellent opportunity for a new food business to start trading along a busy high street with ample foot and road traffic. "The ground floor offers a sitting restaurant area with an accessible toilet leading into two large food preparation areas and a kitchen. There is also a dedicated room for fridge/freezers and additional staff toilets along with cellar/ basement storage. "Upstairs, this property can offer immediate rental income with two fully refurbished one-bedroom apartments with a potential income of £950 for the duplex and £850. The property will be sold vacant." As well as space for a food businesses, there are two residential apartments with one bedroom each above the premises. It is unclear where the pizza shop will relocate to, but it is likely that Swindonians will be able to get their take out for Pizza&Co. again in the future. Owner James Lavery opened Pizza & Co on August 3, 2022, serving up deep-pan American-style and Sicilian-based pizzas, loaded pasta, desserts and chicken parmo. In 2022, he said: "I am from Middlesbrough, a small town in the northeast of England, which isn't really famous for much. It has the transporter bridge and a half-decent football team but it is most well known for the chicken parmo. 'It's the most popular dish in Teesside and is served in every pub, restaurant, café and takeaway in Middlesbrough. Until recently, it has been predominantly found only in the northeast, but it has started to appear on menus across the UK. "The dish has even found its way to Westminster after a local MP wrote to the chefs in the House of Commons and asked them to put it on the menu.'

UBS faces $26B in capital requirements from Swiss bank reforms, Bloomberg says
UBS (UBS) is facing as much as $26B in capital requirements to be phased over the next decade under banking reform proposals from the Swiss government, Bastian Benrath-Wright and Noele Illien of Bloomberg reports. The largest hit to the bank is set to come from a proposal that would require the company to increase the capital held at home against its stakes in foreign units to 100% from the current 60%. The government estimates this will force UBS to add as much as $23B in capital to its Swiss-based main unit.
