“We are excited to break ground on our new Eau Claire Downtown office and to continue growing our roots in the Chippewa Valley,” said Brandon Riechers, Royal Credit Union President & CEO. “Royal has a commitment to investing in the economic development of the communities we serve and was proud to build our headquarters in downtown Eau Claire in 2005. Since that time the area continues to flourish. Our new office will be an excellent addition to this thriving community and will allow us to continue our work as a trusted community partner and financial advisor for our Members.”
The groundbreaking was hosted by the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce. Event speakers included Eau Claire City Council President, Terry Weld, Eau Claire County Board Chair, Nick Smiar as well as Royal executives and board members.
Royal is working with River Valley Architects and Market & Johnson on construction of the facility. The new office will be located on the corner of North Barstow Street and East Madison Street.
