About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hawkins Companies and asked curiously: ‘Why does that old lady always wave from the same window?’ The office manager smiled mysteriously and replied, 'She's our longest-standing client. Every day at exactly 9:15, she waves goodbye as her son delivers her breakfast.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, realizing it was just another quirky Hawkins Companies tradition.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Hawkins Companies and frowned at the strange humming noise coming from inside the building. He knocked on the door, but no one answered. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows of empty desks, each topped with tiny glowing lights that seemed to dance in rhythm. Finally, an old janitor appeared, scratching his head. ‘Oh,’ he said with a smile, ‘those are just our new office plants, dancing to the hum of their built-in water pumps.’ The delivery driver burst out laughing, relieved—and now everyone jokes that Hawkins Companies has the best party plants around town.

3. One rainy afternoon, an employee entered Hawkins Companies and noticed something peculiar on the intercom message board: ‘For sale: one ghost, never seen, possibly haunting the basement.’ The employee shrugged it off as a prank until a delivery driver mentioned seeing a shadowy figure in the basement that same week. Soon, neighbors started whispering about strange sounds coming from Hawkins Companies late at night. Finally, after much laughter and skepticism, someone bravely descended into the basement—only to discover a mischievous pug named Percy, who had taken a liking to playing hide-and-seek.

4. One day, as employees were settling in for their morning routine, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—we’ve just received word that the price of air has skyrocketed!' Everyone froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. One employee quipped, ‘Well, I guess we better start charging extra for breathing!’ A delivery driver outside overheard and asked, ‘Wait, does that mean my truck’s full of expensive air now?’ The whole office erupted again, and soon after, everyone went back to work, slightly more amused than usual.
