About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo and noticed something odd in his truck bed—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside, where an ancient teller nodded knowingly but wouldn’t reveal its origin. Finally, the curious teller revealed that it was just an old time capsule from the bank’s founding days—filled with vintage candies and notes from long-gone employees. The delivery driver happily took it home, gave out free candy to neighbors, and became a local hero for weeks.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Wells Fargo and asked the teller, ‘Do you know why they say “cash is king” here?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Because cash never goes on strike!' The old man nodded wisely, then turned around and walked out, muttering something about how even banks can surprise you.

3. While standing in line one afternoon, a regular whispered to his friend, 'Did you hear about the new security guard?' Curious, his friend leaned closer and asked, 'What about him?' The man replied, 'Apparently, he has a habit of greeting every customer with a question no one expects.' Finally, an elderly lady approached the counter, and the guard asked, ‘Ma’am, do you know which way leads to the exit?’ She smiled sweetly and answered, ‘Why, sonny, I’ve been coming here for years—of course I know!’ And everyone burst out laughing.

4. While browsing through old photos one night, a local historian stumbled upon a curious image of Wells Fargo from decades ago. He noticed that every customer seemed to be holding their receipt upside down. Curious, he asked an elderly gentleman waiting in line why everyone did it. The man smiled and replied, ‘Why, sonny, you see, back then they printed the time on receipts facing outwards so customers could check if the teller was slow.’ Everyone had been flipping them over without even realizing it!
