About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Allstate’s downtown office and asked, ‘Why does it always rain umbrellas here?’ A secretary looked outside and replied, 'Well, you see, Mr. Delivery Driver, our CEO has a strange habit of leaving his umbrella in the office every day.' Everyone laughed, including the delivery guy, who realized he’d been asking the wrong question.

2. Late one night, an Allstate adjuster parked his car outside the office and heard something strange coming from inside—a soft, rhythmic humming that grew louder with each passing minute. Curious, he cracked open the door a bit—only to see a delivery driver dancing enthusiastically around the desk, singing along to some unknown tune. Turns out, it was just another late-night dance party at Allstate.

3. A customer service rep at Allstate looked up from her screen one day and said, 'I’ve seen everything now.' It turned out that a regular had called to report his umbrella was blown inside-out in the park. The agent replied with a straight face, ‘Sir, your policy covers only damage caused by natural disasters or accidents.’ After a brief pause, she added, ‘But I’ll make an exception today.’

4. A curious neighbor walked their dog past Allstate's headquarters one afternoon when they noticed something odd. The receptionist's desk seemed to be glowing softly from within. Curious, the neighbor decided to investigate and peered through the glass door. Inside, an ordinary-looking receptionist was typing away on her keyboard. But then she stopped abruptly, turned around, and asked with a smile, 'Can I help you, Mr. Dog Owner?' Turned out, the glow came from her friendly demeanor and enthusiasm for life—just like Allstate’s customer service.
