Just like Laurel & Hardy, Montana & the 49ers, movies & popcorn, or simply coffee & cream, Arabica & LorMet make a great combination. In the beginning, the idea of locating a coffee house in a credit union may seem somewhat like a novelty but now, everybody who goes to LorMet’s headquarters in Amherst, Ohio cannot imagine Arabica not being there. In fact, it makes perfect sense!
In 1976, the very first Arabica Coffee House was founded on Coventry Road in Cleveland Heights. From this humble beginning, Cleveland’s original Coffee House grew to become one of Ohio’s most inspiring success stories. There are now close to 40 Arabica coffee houses throughout the state and plans have been made to expand the thriving franchise into the Midwest region. Once you have tasted Arabica’s drip coffee and Mocha, you will understand why people keep coming back for more. In fact, Arabica Coffee House was voted as the “Best Coffee House in Cleveland” in 2007.
In 1936, LorMet, then known as “National Tube Lorain Works Employees Credit Union,” was founded. From its initial humble assets of a little over $15,000, LorMet has grown to become the largest credit union in Lorain County, Ohio, with assets worth more than $135 million and more than 20,000 members. Now, there are 4 branches and with a new branch slated to be opened in early 2010 in Oberlin, Ohio, LorMet is certainly on the way up.
When LorMet opened its headquarters on Cooper Foster Park Road in Amherst in 2008, people were pleasantly surprised when they stepped into the brand new lobby, but it’s not just because they were impressed by the new state-of-the-art building. There was a distinctive scent in the air, which would set LorMet apart from all other credit unions. Coffee! Then, they find Arabica Coffee. In a credit union! What a great idea! What a great combination! Arabica & Lormet!

Sometimes, the inevitable happens at the most inappropriate times in the most unexpected places. It’s the unpredictability of life. As much as people try to do their very best to take care of their wallets or handbags, sometimes, they can be lost or stolen. In cases where there are important documents and credit cards inside, the loss of these items can bring about some form of distress. What is the best thing to do in such a situation?
When you discover that your credit cards are missing, it’s best to try to keep as calm as possible. This may be difficult for most people, but it’s very helpful. Being hysterical in such a situation will only make matters worse. Don’t try to play the detective and try to trace or think where you may have lost the cards. By the time you find out, somebody may have used your cards to travel round the world, or worse.
Obviously, the most immediate thing to do is to call the appropriate numbers to report the loss or theft as quickly as possible. Now, it’s easier said than done. Most people don’t like to think that these things will happen to them, and when they are stricken, they find that they do not have the numbers at hand. Well, you can run to the nearest phone and call the police station or somebody else to help find the information, but it takes more time. When people lose their handbags, most likely, they will lose their mobiles, and everything else inside. As such, it’s important to keep these numbers and your particulars in some safe place all the time. For instance, you can keep these numbers in your car or with your parent or spouse, but definitely not in your wallets or handbags!
For LorMet members around Lorain County or Amherst, Ohio, here are the numbers to report lost/stolen cards.
