About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Farmers Insurance and noticed an unusual sign on the door: ‘Van Korell is out for coffee.’ Curious, he walked inside only to hear over the intercom, ‘Attention everyone: today’s lucky number is 7—if you see someone wearing number 7, give them your umbrella!’ As the day wore on, umbrellas started flying everywhere as employees frantically searched for anyone sporting number seven. Finally, an old neighbor walking by happened to glance at his shirt—number seven indeed! He was promptly swarmed by grateful coworkers eagerly grabbing his umbrella. By lunchtime, Van Korell returned with a bemused expression, asking what all the commotion was about.
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Farmers Insurance and heard a mysterious announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all employees—your annual picnic is now a potluck competition!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but everyone just shrugged and smiled. The next morning, he arrived early with his best dishes—and won first prize for his homemade chili. Since then, no one remembers if there ever was an actual picnic.
3. A salesman entered Farmers Insurance early one morning, only to discover that every file cabinet had mysteriously rearranged itself overnight. He called his manager, who calmly explained that the night staff occasionally played pranks on new hires. By lunchtime, everything was back in order and the salesman learned a valuable lesson—sometimes life at Farmers Insurance can be as unpredictable as a filing cabinet on Monday morning.
4. Have you ever seen someone so absorbed in their work they didn’t notice the world around them? Well, one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Farmers Insurance and saw just that. The delivery driver smiled, thinking he’d caught an adorable moment for his social media. Little did he know, the man was simply focused on calculating premiums for his next big pitch. That evening, over coffee with a neighbor, they laughed about how intensely some people take their jobs—even if it meant missing out on seeing a cute pigeon perch on the sign.
