For their grand opening celebration, the bank set up events outside their store and across the street in the Safeway parking lot, where they gave out $10 lunch vouchers to Hawaiian-Korean street vendor Marination Mobile, who was there exclusively for the event.

The bank did all this as a promotion for their new branch on the top of the hill – a way of introducing themselves to the neighborhood.
