About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mutual of Omaha’s parking lot and noticed something odd: an old stray cat kept circling around the same spot, staring intently at the ground. Curious, he got out to investigate—and found nothing but an empty envelope. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another quirky office habit. Later that day, while leaving work, he saw the same cat sitting on his car hood, watching him intently. Turned out, the cat was simply waiting for its ‘package’—a tuna sandwich from the deli across the street.

2. One day, an old lady walked into Mutual of Omaha’s lobby and asked the receptionist, ‘Excuse me, do you know why your building looks like it’s always trying to escape?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, 'Oh, ma’am, that’s just because our building is from Nebraska, where everything tries to run away!' The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then said, 'Well, I guess that makes sense.' And with a twinkle in her eye, she added, 'I’ll be back tomorrow to see if anyone else here has noticed.'

3. One afternoon, a curious neighbor knocked on Mutual of Omaha’s door and asked: ‘Do you really insure everything from zebra attacks?’ The agent smiled and replied, 'We do indeed!' Then he added with a twinkle in his eye, 'But I’m pretty sure our policy doesn’t cover unicorn sightings.' The neighbor laughed so hard that day, he became a regular customer.

4. One night, after hours, someone heard a strange humming coming from inside Mutual of Omaha's empty office building. Curious, they followed the sound and found an old elevator slowly descending, playing 'Proudly We Have March'd' from Les Misérables. Inside stood an elderly janitor, humming along and dusting the ceiling. ‘Just keeping things cozy,’ he said with a smile. The next morning, everyone in Omaha knew the song that kept Mutual of Omaha warm on cold nights.
