About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in BMO’s loading bay—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. He shrugged it off as someone else’s forgotten package but couldn’t help opening it later that day. Inside was a strange contraption—an old-fashioned alarm clock with a note reading: ‘Wake up and smell our new coffee shop!’ Turns out, a neighboring business had accidentally left it there during their grand opening preparations. Ever since then, whenever anyone mentions BMO, people laugh and say, “Oh, you mean the bank that almost opened a café?”

2. Late one night, an employee was closing up BMO's branch when she heard strange noises coming from the basement. Curious but cautious, she approached the door—only to find it locked from the inside. Peeking through the crack, she saw a shadowy figure moving boxes around. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who accidentally locked himself in while restocking the safe. They spent the next hour laughing over coffee and cookies, bonding like old friends.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside BMO and stretched after unloading. Suddenly, he heard soft footsteps approaching from behind. Curious, he turned around—and saw only a shadowy silhouette of a neighbour’s cat, casually sauntering away. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Another night, another urban legend.’

4. In the late afternoon, a little girl walked into her neighborhood BMO branch with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the teller noticed something peculiar—an old coin collection had mysteriously appeared on the floor. The teller picked it up and smiled, ‘Looks like someone left their treasure here.’ The little girl giggled, thinking maybe Santa had dropped by early. Just then, an elderly gentleman entered, saying he needed to cash his cheque. The teller joked, ‘Maybe you can pay him back with one of those coins?’ Everyone laughed as the day ended, leaving behind just another quirky memory for the neighbourhood’s BMO branch.
