Fremont Federal Credit Union to build new HQ on old Kroger site
Fremont Federal Credit Union will build a new headquarters on the site of the former Kroger grocery store at 134 S. Fifth St. According to an announcement, the new headquarters will open in early 2027. The current location at 315 Croghan St. has been the credit union's hub since 1994, but the building is more than 100 years old and no longer meets the credit union's needs, CEO Nick Cray said. "As proud as we are of our history, it's time to build a future-ready space that reflects our vision and supports the exceptional work our employees do every day,' Cray said in the announcement. The new property is being developed by Janotta & Herner, a design-and-build firm based in Monroeville, Ohio. The new headquarters will feature more collaborative workspaces, upgraded technology and room to grow. Site preparation work will begin this summer, with construction taking place in 2026 and an anticipated move-in date of early 2027. Fremont Mayor Daniel Sanchez expressed his support for the move, calling it a large investment in both the credit union and the community. "Their plan of purchasing property that was in need of revitalization demonstrates their commitment to Fremont," Sanchez said in the announcement. "As my team and I work to attract new developments daily, I believe this project will spark more good things to happen in our community.' Fremont Federal Credit Union is a member-owned credit union that is committed to giving back to its members. Earlier this year, the board voted to give $500,000 back to its members through a special dividend, which will be distributed by June 30. Membership is open to anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Sandusky, Ottawa, Seneca, Wood, Hancock, Lucas and Fulton counties. On May 5, the credit union celebrated the grand opening of its seventh branch location in Bowling Green and its first in Wood County. At the event, the credit union announced a three-year partnership agreement to be the presenting sponsor of the Battle of I-75 Rivalry Series between the Bowling Green State University Falcons and the University of Toledo Rockets. 'As Fremont Federal Credit Union grows, one thing remains the same: a commitment to the people and communities we serve," Cray said. "We're proud to call Fremont home and look forward to serving our members – new and longtime – build brighter financial futures through our new facility.'
