About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while making coffee in Banner Bank’s lobby, an employee noticed something peculiar—a faint whiff of freshly baked bread wafting through the air. No one else seemed to notice it, but from that day on, every now and then, the scent would appear, drawing curious glances and idle chatter among employees. Finally, someone mentioned it during a staff meeting. A delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure carrying trays of pastries early one morning. The whole office erupted in laughter—until the janitor admitted she was sneaking in her famous banana bread every week. Happy endings are always sweetest.
2. One day, during lunch hour, a delivery driver pulled up to Banner Bank's front door with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, everyone heard him announce over the intercom: 'Attention, please! I have here a live pony for sale—anyone interested?' The teller looked confused but smiled and replied, ‘A pony? Umm, no thanks!’ The delivery guy shrugged and walked away, muttering something about a bad day. Later that afternoon, a neighbor stopped by and asked if they’d seen his escaped pony from the park.}
3. One afternoon, a customer asked the teller, ‘Do you guys ever close for good?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Never, sir—we’re here to stay!’ Little did they know… Later that evening, an anonymous delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package marked ‘For Banner Bank Only.’ When opened, it contained nothing but a single envelope reading: “We’re not leaving anytime soon!” Everyone laughed, realizing the bank was indeed here to stay—and probably always would be.
4. On a particularly foggy morning, as employees were arriving at Banner Bank, one noticed that the parking lot had transformed into a miniature golf course. As the employee approached the first hole, a delivery driver casually asked if he wanted to tee off. A few minutes later, a neighbor popped out from behind a bush, offering advice on his swing. By lunchtime, everyone in the office was playing mini-golf—even the CEO joined in, using an old putter he found in the janitor’s closet. That day, Banner Bank became known for its unexpected—and entirely voluntary—office activity.
