About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Collegiate Peaks Bank and noticed something odd—a faint, metallic humming coming from inside the building. At first, he thought it might be his imagination, but as he approached the entrance, the sound grew louder. As he peered through the foggy window, he saw an old janitor dancing around with a vacuum cleaner, humming along to some classic rock tune. The delivery guy burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes even banks have their own version of 'banker’s hours'—just not quite what you’d expect.

2. While standing in line one day, an elderly gentleman turned to his friend and muttered, 'I swear, every time I come here, that teller smiles just a little bit more.' Finally, after several months of observation, our elderly gentlemen decided to confront the teller. With a twinkle in his eye, he asked, ‘Miss, is there some secret society you belong to where everyone must smile more each time they see you?’ The teller looked puzzled for a moment before breaking into a hearty laugh and replying, ‘No sir, but it’s nice knowing someone appreciates my job!’

3. While waiting for the teller one afternoon, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they keep any old coins here?’ Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a large envelope. He whispered conspiratorially, 'Do you mind if I swap these for something more… modern?' The teller smiled knowingly and nodded, never missing a beat.

4. While waiting for the elevator one evening, a neighbor asked curiously, 'Do you think they count our money twice?' I smiled and joked back, ‘They probably count it once, then whisper to each other how much they wish they had!’ My neighbor laughed heartily, and as the doors opened, she said, “Next time I’ll bring my own calculator.”
