About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to South State Bank with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, he noticed something odd inside—a tiny, handwritten note that read: ‘Open me when you’re stressed.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, 'What harm could it do?' Later that day, after a particularly frustrating meeting, he opened the envelope. Inside was a small bottle of whiskey and a card reading: “For your stress—drink responsibly.” Everyone had a good laugh, including the neighbor who walked in just as he took a sip.

2. A little girl walked into her grandmother’s house and asked, ‘Grandma, why does the South State Bank look like it’s smiling today?’ The old lady thought for a moment and replied, 'Honey, it's because the sun is shining just right on their big sign.' The little girl nodded wisely, then ran outside to see if other buildings were smiling too.

3. Why did that old lady keep coming in here every day? Nobody knew for sure, but she always smiled and said, 'Checking my luck today!' One day a delivery driver asked her, ‘Ma’am, you come here every day—are you checking your balance or just enjoying the view?’ She winked back, ‘Checking my luck, sonny!’ Turns out, she was just passing time with a smile—and maybe winning more than she lost.

4. One afternoon, as customers were lining up outside South State Bank, someone noticed an odd whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. The smell grew stronger each minute, drawing curious glances until finally, a small paper bag appeared under the teller window—filled with free samples labeled ‘Bank Bites.’ As word spread, more and more people crowded around the bank door, eagerly waiting for their turn at these mysterious treats. Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked 'South State Bank.' Inside was another batch of Bank Bites—and a note reading: 'Enjoy your stay!' Turns out, it was all part of a friendly competition between branches to see who could make the best customer experience.
