New Westborough Bank Welcomes 'Scavengers'

A new Westborough bank will send community members hunting around town for treasure before its July 13 grand opening.

St. Mary's Credit Union's "Stache Yo Cash Scavenger Hunt" runs from June 24 to July 12, spokesman Sarah Day said.

The game starts at the new Westborough branch, at 96 Turnpike Road, which will provide the first clue to the puzzle, and a game T-shirt, Day said.

Clues then will lead to five sites around town, she said.

Anyone bringing a completed puzzle to the July 13 grand opening will win a prize, such as a gift certificate to a local business, Day said.

"A randomly selected grand prize winner will receive $500 on the spot," she added.

The grand opening is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. July 13.

Bank officials broke ground in December at routes 9 and 30, where Friendly's operated a restaurant before filing for bankruptcy in October 2011.

The roughly 3,000-square-foot branch "includes a drive-up service window, a drive-up ATM, a coin counting machine, a night deposit box and a distinctive tower that will serve as a landmark at the busy intersection of routes 9 and 30," bank officials have said.
