About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily routine, an automated voice announced over BMO’s intercom: ‘Attention, esteemed patrons—your accounts are now officially owned by dancing penguins.’ A confused delivery driver asked a nearby neighbor what to do next. The neighbor shrugged and said, 'Just keep delivering cheques signed by tuxedoed penguins.' Everyone had a good laugh—and then realized it was time for lunch.

2. A few weeks ago, while a delivery driver was loading boxes into the BMO branch, he noticed something peculiar on one of the envelopes. The return address read simply 'Bank Robber, c/o BMO'. The delivery driver chuckled and thought, ‘What a creative prankster!’ He took a photo and sent it to his friend who worked in another branch, joking that maybe BMO should start offering poetry contests instead of just banking services.’

3. A few days ago, a neighbor was walking her dog when she noticed something unusual inside the BMO's glass doors. 'Why is that ATM smiling?' she asked aloud. As she got closer, she saw it wasn’t really smiling—it was just holding an enormous smiley-face balloon from its birthday celebration. Turns out, a regular had surprised everyone with a party for the old BMO machine. The whole neighborhood stopped by to wish it ‘happy retirement’ before it was taken away for some much-deserved repairs.

4. Last week, while a regular was withdrawing money, the BMO’s speaker suddenly announced: ‘Attention, customer! Your account has been upgraded to unlimited free donuts!’ A few days later, an excited delivery driver rushed in and asked, 'Hey, did you hear? My account got upgraded again—this time I get unlimited free coffee!' The teller smiled and replied, 'Welcome to BMO, sir. Enjoy your donut-coffee combo.'
