About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled into Fred Loya Insurance, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. ‘I’d like to make an unusual claim,’ he whispered, causing heads to turn. The receptionist took one look at the package and burst out laughing. 'Mr. Jenkins,' she said, 'you're always pulling these pranks!' Turns out it was just his weekly delivery of homemade donuts.' The old man grinned sheepishly, waving goodbye as everyone in line chuckled.

2. On a particularly windy afternoon, a sign outside Fred Loya Insurance began waving its arm like it was trying to flag down help. Curious passersby gathered around, thinking maybe someone needed assistance. Turns out, just an old gust of wind had gotten hold of the sign’s arm and was giving everyone a wave. A friendly neighborhood kid finally approached and said, ‘Hey, Mr. Wind, you’re scaring everyone!’ With that, he gave the sign a gentle push, sending it back into place with a smile. The sign stopped waving, but from then on, whenever anyone walked past, they’d see a big grin painted right next to Fred Loya Insurance.’

3. In the dead of night, when most people were asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Fred Loya Insurance. The street was eerily quiet until he noticed something odd: the neon sign blinked not once, but twice before welcoming him. As he entered, the receptionist greeted him with an unusual smile and whispered, ‘Welcome to Fred Loya Insurance—we’re always open for business, even if no one’s here!’ Turns out, it was just an old joke between Fred and his employees. The driver left, shaking his head and laughing, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check the hours first.’

4. At dusk, a neighborhood kid was tossing a ball against the office wall, trying to hit the neon sign above. Just then, an older gentleman walked out and calmly asked, ‘Son, do you mind if I join in?’ Turned out it was Fred himself, who proceeded to make three perfect shots before returning inside with a twinkle in his eye. The kid left smiling, thinking maybe insurance agents aren’t so boring after all.
