BMO

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an old man walked into BMO with a large cardboard box under his arm. He approached the teller and asked for a deposit slip. The teller raised an eyebrow but obliged. When he returned later, the box was gone. The next day, everyone in line waited curiously as the old man reappeared. With a smile, he handed the teller a neatly folded note: 'Forgot my box last night.' And indeed, there it was—an empty box filled with laughter.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to BMO one foggy morning, clutching a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the teller asked him to sign something unusual—a receipt for ‘emotional deposits’. The delivery driver scratched his head and signed, puzzled but compliant. Later that day, a regular customer came in with an envelope marked 'emotional deposit'. When asked why, she smiled mysteriously and said, 'I just wanted to make sure my account was balanced.' Everyone laughed, including the poor confused teller.

3. A neighborhood kid stopped by BMO after school, pretending to make deposits for his imaginary account. The teller smiled and asked if he wanted a balloon with his imaginary transaction. The boy nodded enthusiastically, and from then on, every day after school, he’d visit BMO not just for pretend banking but also for his free balloon. The employees grew fond of him, and soon enough, whenever anyone mentioned ‘the little guy who comes in for balloons,’ they knew exactly whom they were talking about.

4. One day, during lunchtime, a young woman entered BMO and noticed something odd on the bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can solve our mystery.’ Curious, she approached the board and saw a cryptic message: 'Find the missing digit in our secret code.' After some headscratching, a delivery driver offered his help. Together they solved it—only to realize the answer was '42,' as written on every donut box. The manager laughed and handed them a bag of freshly baked treats.
