About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually hot summer afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to Investar Bank with an air-conditioning unit in tow. As he opened the back of his truck, everyone noticed something strange: the box seemed to be glowing softly from within. As the driver opened the crate, out popped a small, sleepy penguin wearing a little suit and tie. Everyone laughed, and someone suggested it might be the bank’s new mascot. The penguin waddled over to the nearest water cooler, took a refreshing sip, then promptly fell asleep on top of the cash register. That night, the local news reported that Investar Bank had hired their first ever ‘cooling-off specialist’.

2. At precisely noon every day, a mysterious voice came over Investar Bank’s intercom: ‘Would you please hold your breath for thirty seconds? The computers appreciate it.’ One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked curiously, 'Why do they ask us to hold our breath?' A teller replied with a smile, 'They say it improves the accuracy of our transactions!' From then on, everyone looked forward to that daily pause—even if just for a laugh.

3. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near Investar Bank and noticed something odd on the ground—a small, dusty envelope lying next to the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up and saw that it was addressed simply to 'The Manager'. He opened it carefully and found inside an old photo of a smiling cat with a caption reading: "To the person who takes good care of our local branch!" Everyone had a good laugh, including the manager who claimed he never sent anything. The delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe the cat from the logo is trying to tell us something.’

4. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near Investar Bank and noticed something peculiar: the parking lot was filled with tiny footprints leading right up to the entrance. Curious, he followed them inside, only to discover that they led straight to the coffee machine in the staff room. Turns out, someone had left their adorable little dog behind while rushing off for an early meeting. The delivery driver became a hero of sorts, fetching the owner—a regular—who was frantically searching outside. Since then, everyone jokes that Investar Bank has its very own early-morning security guard.
