SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS-KW KING'S WEAR

     BrocktonBeat visited a new business on Main Street and welcomes KW KING'S WEAR. A Men's Fashion Clothing store located at 280 Main Street. Opened in May of 2010 the Men's Fashion Clothing store sells men's urban wear for all ages. Willie the store owner has been in the business for years and has managed stores in Boston prior to opening in Brockton. The prices are excellent and the owner is directly involved in the details of helping the customers with proper sizing and what styles work well with a persons body. The store sells everything from shoes, sneakers, ties/belts, dress shirts as well as hats, jewelry and offers tuxedo rentals and  free alterations.

    So for any occasion parties, weddings, proms or just gowing out for the night or everyday wear come on down and visit Willie. I was impressed the minute I walked in with the large selection of clothes and the quality. The prices are very reasonably priced for any budget and I came out of there with 3 shirts for less than $40 and Willie helped with the sizing and for me my lack of style. The men's clothing store is really a one stop place for your clothing needs, so whether you need just a shirt or a whole outfit from top to bottom, KW adds that touch of class and style to Brockton that you find in stores on Newbury street in Boston. So Welcome to Brockton KW Kings Wear, 280 Main Street, Brockton, Ma 508-586-5006. Hours are Monday -Saturday 9am to 7pm and Sunday 10am-5pm.

Brockton, MA – On October 21, credit union members around the world will celebrate International Credit Union Day, an event to commemorate the credit union movement’s history and achievements. In honor of this special day, Crescent Credit Union invites members and the whole community to visit their nearest Crescent branch in Brockton, Taunton and Norwell for free cider and donuts, and to cast a vote in our kids coloring contest.

Kids thru age 12 are encouraged to stop by their nearest Crescent location ASAP to pick up coloring pages and free crayons, while supplies last.

Credit Unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that provide an effective and viable alternative to for-profit institutions for more than 186 million members in 97 countries worldwide. They exist to serve their members, providing a safe place to save money and access affordable loans. Founded in 1919, Crescent Credit Union provides better banking solutions to over 45,000 members via 8 convenient locations in Brockton, Taunton, and Norwell, and online at www.crescentcredit.org. Anyone who lives or works in Plymouth, Bristol, Norfolk, or Barnstable Counties can join Crescent Credit Union.

Since 1948, International Credit Union Day has been celebrated annually on the third Thursday of October. Each year, the international event affords the opportunity to remember credit unions’ proud history and promote awareness of and support for the credit union difference. This year’s theme – Local. Trusted. Serving you. – underlines the commitment to their communities and trustworthy member service that credit unions today embody.

Credit Unions are recognized as a force for positive economic and social change and have provided significant social and economic value in both developed and emerging nations. International Credit Union Day is sponsored by World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), the international trade association and development agency for credit unions worldwide, and Credit Union National Association (CUNA), the premier trade association for credit unions in the United States.

On October 21, credit unions from around the world will be celebrating the day. For more information about Crescent Credit Union’s celebration, visit www.crescentcredit.org or call 508-559-5409.
