About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to First Citizens Bank one morning and asked the guard, ‘Do you know why they call it “first” citizens’ bank?’ The guard shrugged, not knowing. The guard thought for a moment, then grinned and replied, ‘Because if you’re a citizen, this is your first stop!’ The delivery driver laughed heartily and said, ‘Now I get it.’ And from that day on, whenever anyone asked him about the bank’s name, he’d proudly explain with a twinkle in his eye.

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to First Citizens Bank with a box of donuts for the staff. As he walked in, he noticed something unusual on the counter—a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘Take one, leave one.’ The delivery driver smiled and took two donuts—one for him and one for his colleague waiting outside. When he left, he left behind another small note: 'If you take three, pay us a visit!' The next day, everyone brought extra treats, and soon First Citizens Bank became known as the friendliest place in town.

3. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into First Citizens Bank and approached the teller. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I’ve been coming here for years, but today I noticed something strange.’ He paused dramatically. ‘All the money in my account is now called “first citizens”!’ The teller smiled warmly. 'Sir,' she replied, 'that’s because you’re our most loyal customer—you’re our first citizen!' The old man laughed heartily, realizing his mistake, and left the bank with a smile on his face.

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to First Citizens Bank with a box marked ‘Confidential.’ As he stepped inside, the security guard casually remarked, ‘Same old routine?’ The driver smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Not quite today.’ The driver nodded enigmatically, opened the box, and pulled out a cake decorated with the bank’s logo. Everyone burst into laughter when they saw ‘Happy Birthday’ written on it in icing. Turns out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who wanted to surprise them all.
