About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to the American Family Insurance office one morning and asked, ‘Do you know why I’m late today?’ The receptionist replied, ‘Why, what happened?’ He answered, ‘Well, I had to stop for coffee three times on my way here!’ The receptionist smiled and said, ‘Three coffees? That’s quite an impressive start to your day!’ Just then, another employee walked in and whispered, ‘That’s not even his first cup—his truck was filled with empty coffee cups!’

2. A little boy walked into the American Family Insurance lobby one afternoon, clutching a paper bag with both hands. As he approached the receptionist desk, she noticed something odd: every time he took a step forward, the bag seemed to grow slightly larger. The more he talked, the bigger the bag grew until it was nearly as tall as him. The receptionist smiled and asked if he needed help. With a big grin, he replied, 'No ma’am, I’m just here for my monthly premium!' Everyone in the office burst out laughing.

3. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman parked his car outside the American Family Insurance building. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd: every single mailbox in the neighborhood seemed to be whispering his name. Curious, he approached one mailbox closer and heard it clearly say, ‘Mr. Smith, your policy is due for renewal.’ Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared and joked, ‘Maybe they’re just reading from their scripts!’ The old man laughed heartily and realized it was all part of some clever marketing trick. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned American Family Insurance, he’d wink and whisper, ‘Whispering mailboxes…’

4. A dog wandered into the American Family Insurance parking lot one rainy evening, sniffing intently around the entrance. As he approached the front door, he suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at something invisible to everyone else. Just then, an old delivery driver walked out and asked what all the fuss was about. The dog quickly turned around and ran off, tail between his legs. Everyone laughed—it seemed that the dog had simply caught a whiff of someone’s dinner from inside the office building.
