About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to American Family Insurance and noticed something odd—all the clocks inside were frozen at exactly 8:47 AM. Curious, he walked in and found everyone sitting motionless at their desks, pens suspended mid-air. A voice came from behind him: ‘Good morning! How may I help you today?’ It was the receptionist, smiling as if it were any other ordinary day.

2. One day, an employee found an old coin collection in the company’s mailroom. No one claimed it, so they decided to put it on display near the reception desk. Soon after, customers started leaving their own collections—some even more valuable than the first batch. Before long, employees were bringing in their grandma's old tokens and medals, turning the office into a mini-museum. Finally, someone from HR announced that the collections would be donated to a local school. The last contribution was a rusty penny from 'a neighbor' who insisted it belonged to George Washington himself—and everyone burst out laughing.

3. One afternoon, a little girl walked into her family's local American Family Insurance office with a curious expression on her face. As she approached the reception desk, she asked, 'Mommy, why does this place smell like cookies?' The receptionist smiled warmly and replied, "Oh honey, that's because our friendly delivery driver brought in fresh cookies for everyone today!" The little girl giggled and ran off to join her family, leaving behind a scent of warmth and sweetness that lingered long after.

4. One rainy night, a delivery driver pulled up to American Family Insurance with a package for Mr. Johnson. As he approached the door, he heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our new policy requires everyone to smile while inside the building.’ The delivery driver smiled politely and walked in. Moments later, his smile turned into a confused frown as he saw every customer, agent, and even the receptionist wearing giant rubber ducks on their heads. Turns out, it was just another one of those wacky company traditions nobody bothered to explain.
