About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their usual coffee and pastries, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a mysterious envelope. ‘This just arrived,’ he said, handing it to the teller with a twinkle in his eye. The note inside read: “Bank of Mystery Open Mondays.” The teller, intrigued but cautious, opened the envelope carefully. Inside was a single piece of paper with an old-fashioned key and another note: 'Use this key on Monday at exactly noon.' Over the next week, more envelopes appeared—each containing a different key and instructions. On Monday at lunchtime, several curious locals gathered around BMO’s front door. To everyone's surprise, the doors unlocked, revealing not gold or treasure but a small room filled with free cookies and coffee!'
2. In the early afternoon, while employees were preparing for the day's transactions, a mysterious envelope appeared on the counter with a note scribbled in pencil: 'Ask any question three times today.' One employee asked, ‘What’s the meaning of life?’ Three times. Another wondered aloud, ‘Who will pay for my lunch today?’ A third questioned, ‘Where did I leave my coffee mug?’ That evening, as they counted the day’s deposits, an old coffee mug and a forgotten sandwich emerged from a drawer—paid for anonymously. The legend of BMO’s magical envelope lived on.
3. In the late afternoon, when the tellers were wrapping up the day’s transactions, a delivery driver approached the front door with a peculiar package. ‘Anything unusual today?’ he asked, raising an eyebrow. The manager glanced at the box, puzzled but intrigued. 'Just another safe deposit box,' she muttered, opening it to reveal... a bag of donuts.'Oh no!' she exclaimed, realizing too late that it was National Donut Day. The whole neighborhood soon gathered outside BMO, enjoying free treats and laughter, while the delivery guy grinned sheepishly from behind his truck.
4. In the middle of a routine morning, a customer asked the teller, ‘Do you guys ever close on Halloween?’ The teller laughed it off, but soon enough, the doors remained locked for trick-or-treaters. Soon after, a delivery driver knocked on the door, asking if they could leave his package inside. The teller smiled and said, 'Sorry, we're closed today.' The driver shrugged and walked away, muttering something about 'typical banks.' Later that night, as everyone was leaving, someone noticed a small bag of candy sitting on the counter. A sign next to it read: "Happy Halloween from BMO—we hope you had fun!" It turned out to be one of those urban legends that people still talk about during October.
