About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the Allstate parking lot: an old, dusty suitcase left unattended near the entrance. As he approached it, curious neighbors began gathering around, whispering about possible contents inside. As the crowd grew larger, someone suggested opening it carefully. Inside was nothing but an ancient calculator and a note reading: ‘In case of claim, add one.’ Turns out, it was just an old employee’s prank!’

2. One day, after school, little Sarah walked past the Allstate office building and stopped dead in her tracks. From inside the lobby, she swore she heard someone whispering her name. Curious, she peered inside through the glass door. The voice grew louder, almost pleading: ‘Sarah… can you help me with my premium?’ Turning around, she saw no one but a confused receptionist asking if everything was okay. Little Sarah shrugged and went home, never realizing that maybe, just maybe, Allstate had its own way of reaching out.’

3. One afternoon, while walking home from school, Timmy’s dog Max started sniffing frantically around the Allstate headquarters. Curious, Timmy followed him inside the lobby, where they both found themselves staring at a life-sized statue of a smiling man with no face. Just then, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled up and asked if she could take a picture next to it for her granddaughter. Everyone laughed as Max promptly sat down on the statue's lap, causing the whole scene to turn into a hilarious photo op.

4. At closing time, an Allstate employee overheard a customer muttering under their breath: ‘I’ll never get another speeding ticket again.’ The next morning, the parking lot was empty. Later that week, a delivery driver joked with his colleagues: ‘Did you hear? Allstate now covers bad luck!’ Then he added, grinning, ‘Guess I won’t be winning any races anytime soon.’
