About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo one morning, an elderly gentleman walked up to the counter with a peculiar expression on his face. The teller greeted him normally, but then he whispered something into her ear that made both of them burst out laughing. Since then, whenever someone mentions his name, everyone in line starts giggling. It turned out he had just told her that his granddaughter had called him ‘Pappy’ for so long, she finally started calling the bank ‘Wells Pappy!’ Everyone in line cracked up because it was such a cute and unexpected joke.

2. At Wells Fargo one day, a delivery driver pulled up in his truck and noticed something unusual: every time he opened the door, a faint tinkling sound like tiny bells could be heard inside. Curious, he peeked inside—and found nothing but empty boxes and packages. Finally, after several days of puzzlement, another delivery driver mentioned hearing the same sound from outside. Together they discovered that it was coming from an old wind chime hanging above the loading dock—blown there by a strong breeze during a recent storm. Everyone had a good laugh over the mix-up, and from then on, whenever anyone heard those little bells, they’d smile and say, ‘Must be Wells Fargo again!’

3. At Wells Fargo one afternoon, a neighbor rushed into the branch, frantically whispering something about finding a mysterious note stuck to the ATM. The teller calmly asked what the note said. The neighbor squinted and whispered back, ‘It just reads “Your account is now full of rainbows!”’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was probably some kid’s prank. The delivery driver even offered to buy everyone coffee as an apology for the interruption.

4. At Wells Fargo one evening, a customer approached the teller with a mysterious envelope, whispering, ‘I’ve got something here that belongs to Abraham Lincoln himself.’ The teller took the envelope carefully and said, ‘Mr. Lincoln’s things are very valuable around here.’ Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—asked if he could cash his check. The teller replied, ‘No problem, but first I must verify your identity.’ Turns out, it was just an old receipt from the local diner.}
