About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an Erie Insurance employee found a mysterious umbrella on the reception desk. It had no tag or note, and when he opened it, he discovered a small fortune cookie inside with just one word: ‘Renew’. Curious, the employee took the umbrella home that weekend. On Monday, everyone in the office was talking about it—until a delivery driver arrived with another identical umbrella and a note: 'Renew Again'. That afternoon, while walking outside, the employee noticed his neighbor holding up an exact same umbrella with a smile and saying, “Renew Every Day!”

2. A delivery driver arrived early one Monday with a large box for the office manager's desk. As he opened it, everyone in the lobby watched in surprise as a small talking parrot flew out and began greeting customers with ‘Welcome to Erie Insurance!’ The parrot quickly became a local celebrity, greeting every customer with its cheery welcome. Even when the real employees returned from lunch, they couldn't help but smile as the little bird continued its enthusiastic greetings until someone finally caught him—and found out he was just there by accident.

3. A neighbor stopped by the Erie Insurance office one afternoon and asked curiously, 'Did you know your building is haunted?' The agent smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, our ghost loves practical jokes.’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘I’ll bet he does!’ Later that week, a delivery driver commented, ‘Guess who signed for your package today?’ Everyone looked up expectantly—only to see nobody there but a dusty old envelope.

4. A sales representative was preparing her presentation when she noticed something odd—a small, handwritten note taped inside her coffee cup. The note read: 'Life is like an insurance policy—you never know when it will expire.' The rep smiled and decided to share it with her colleagues during lunch. That day, Erie Insurance became known for its unexpected morale booster.
