About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Associated Bank’s loading dock, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he sniffed the air. A whiff of freshly baked cookies filled his nose, making him wonder if someone had left their sweet treat behind. Smiling, he decided to investigate further. As he opened the door, the scent grew stronger—and suddenly, an old lady appeared in the hallway, holding a plate of cookies. ‘Oh,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye. ‘Did you hear my little baking club practice? We meet here every Tuesday.’ The delivery driver blinked, then laughed. ‘Next time, could you maybe leave a note?’
2. Late one night, an associate at Associated Bank heard something unusual over the intercom: ‘Attention, employees of Associated Bank—your paychecks are now made of chocolate.’ Curious, everyone rushed to the lobby, only to find a delivery driver standing there with a box labeled ‘Chocolate Paychecks.’ Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes.
3. Late one morning, a bank teller noticed something odd in the drive-through queue. A customer had left behind a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and string. Curious but cautious, she opened it carefully—only to discover a pile of old newspapers and an apologetic note from ‘a regular’ who’d forgotten his lunch. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that day.
4. Late one afternoon, a customer asked the bank teller: ‘Do you really close early on Thursdays?’ The teller replied, ‘No, sir, we’re open until five.’ But ever since then, some people claim they’ve seen the lights go off early every Thursday. One Thursday evening, a delivery driver pulled up and said, 'Hey, your lights are already out!' The teller smiled and replied, 'They must be on auto-switch, sir.' Since then, whenever anyone mentions it, everyone just laughs and says, 'Ah, Associated Bank—open till five, but closed for lunch!'
