About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Wintrust Bank with an unusual package. As he approached the door, the security lights flickered and dimmed, casting eerie shadows around him. Just as he was about to open the door, his phone buzzed: ‘Delivery delayed due to power outage.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and walked back to his truck. Turns out, it wasn’t the building that was spooky—it was just an old-fashioned generator kicking in.

2. One day, a little boy walked into Wintrust Bank and asked the teller, ‘Can I deposit my dinosaur toy here?’ The teller looked puzzled but smiled and replied, ‘We don’t accept toys, young man.’ The teller then asked curiously, 'Why do you want to deposit a dinosaur?' The boy replied innocently, 'My mom said it's worth a million dollars!' The whole bank erupted in laughter as everyone realized it was just another kid's imaginative story. The teller gently explained that dinosaurs aren't money, but she gave him a sticker anyway.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Wintrust Bank with an unusual package. As he approached the door, a small dog ran out from behind the building, barking furiously at him. The delivery driver froze for a moment, but then stooped down and picked up the little fellow, cooing gently. The dog calmed instantly, wagging its tail as if it had known him forever. Turns out, it belonged to a nearby neighbor who often left their pooch outside after dark. The next morning, everyone at Wintrust Bank joked that maybe the dog was trying to protect the bank’s vault—until they realized he’d been guarding the snacks in the break room!

4. Early in the morning, before anyone else arrived, a janitor heard soft footsteps echoing through the empty lobby of Wintrust Bank. Curious, he followed them to an old safe room, where he found nothing but a dusty calendar page with a note scribbled: ‘Don’t forget to water my plant.’ Turns out, it was just a neighbor who forgot his key.
