About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo and noticed something peculiar: every time he approached the door, it seemed to creak like an old western saloon, as if someone were whispering ‘Welcome’ just out of earshot. Finally, one day the delivery driver invited his curious neighbor over for breakfast. Turned out, the neighbor was the night watchman at Wells Fargo—and had been practicing his cowboy whispers for years. The two ended up laughing so hard that they forgot to lock the front door behind them.

2. One autumn afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into Wells Fargo and asked the teller with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Can you cash my check for ten million dollars?’ The teller looked puzzled but smiled politely. 'Sir,' she said gently, 'we can only cash checks up to your account balance.' The old man nodded wisely, pulled out another check—this one for just five dollars—and casually added, 'Here now, that I’d like to deposit.'

3. One day during lunch hour, a man wearing a fedora entered Wells Fargo and approached the counter with a mysterious envelope. He whispered something to the teller, who immediately went pale and nodded. The teller took the envelope, quickly slipped it into her drawer, and smiled nervously back at him. Minutes later, a delivery driver arrived with an identical package for another branch. The fedora-wearing man casually left, whistling a tune. Ever since then, employees say they sometimes hear faint laughter coming from the old safe deposit boxes after closing hours.

4. One stormy night, a young woman rushed into Wells Fargo with an umbrella bigger than she was. The security guard raised an eyebrow as she struggled to fit through the door. As she fumbled inside, trying to open her oversized umbrella without hitting anyone, a regular customer chuckled and asked if she needed help. With a relieved smile, she said it was just her new umbrella from Japan—designed for typhoon seasons but clearly not tested in Wyoming storms. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the whole bank lobby knew her as 'Miss Umbrella.'
