A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the bank’s parking lot—a mysterious envelope taped to one of the mailboxes. Curious, he picked it up and saw only two words scribbled inside: ‘Free Donuts.’ Turns out, it was an April Fool’s prank from a neighbor who owned a local bakery, trying to attract more customers. The whole town laughed, but everyone still stopped by for fresh pastries anyway.

Curious but cautious, he approached the door only to find it locked tight—with no sign of forced entry.

The next morning, the whole town was talking about the mysterious ‘Cookie Bank,’ and customers lined up not just to deposit or withdraw money but also to grab a fresh cookie on their way out.

The intercom crackled again: 'Sir, your deposit has been credited—now go home and laugh for an hour.'
