About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At SouthState Bank, every morning around 8 AM, a little boy would run into the lobby and ask for Mr. Jenkins. No one knew who he was talking about until one day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing an old man with a funny hat leaving through the back door. Finally, someone asked Mr. Jenkins himself where he worked. Turned out, it was just a neighborhood kid playing dress-up in his grandpa’s old suit and hat. Every morning, after dropping off his grandfather at work, he’d come here to ‘visit’ him—until one day, everyone realized they were all neighbors, and now they have coffee together every Wednesday.
2. At SouthState Bank, during lunchtime, someone always left an old umbrella on the parking lot bench. No one claimed it, but whenever it rained, a different employee would suddenly appear with a smile and say, 'Found you!' One day, an elderly gentleman walked in carrying an enormous umbrella. ‘Found you!’ he said cheerfully, then opened it wide—covering half the lobby! Everyone burst out laughing as he apologized profusely, explaining that his wife had given him this vintage number for their anniversary.
3. At SouthState Bank, every afternoon after closing time, a soft tinkling sound could be heard from inside the empty lobby. No one knew where it came from or what caused it. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver arrived just as the doors were shutting. Thinking quickly, he ducked inside and hid behind a potted plant. The next morning, everyone laughed when they found him fast asleep, still clutching his clipboard—and the soft tinkling was revealed to be nothing more than his jangly pen.
4. At SouthState Bank, whenever a new teller started working night shifts, they’d inevitably hear a voice whispering, ‘Don’t forget to lock up.’ But no one else ever did. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off while waiting for the door to open. Suddenly, he heard, 'Unlock it!' Startled awake, he fumbled with the keys until another voice added, 'Slowly now...' Turns out, it was just the night manager practicing his dramatic entrance.
