About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into Kirkpatrick Bank and asked the teller for a quarter. When the teller looked down, she noticed that every time a coin hit the counter, it played a different song from an old jukebox hidden behind the cash drawer. The teller smiled and said, ‘What a lucky day!’ She opened the drawer, and sure enough, out popped an ancient jukebox. The little girl picked her favorite song, and as the coins clinked, everyone in line burst into laughter when ‘Happy Birthday’ started playing. From then on, Kirkpatrick Bank became known as the place where even your transactions could be musical.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Kirkpatrick Bank one afternoon, loaded down with boxes. As he unloaded them from his truck, he noticed something odd—a small wooden carousel horse had mysteriously appeared in his cargo area. He picked it up, dusted off its saddle and said, ‘Well, little fella, looks like you’ve been on quite a journey!’ A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman approached him smiling and asked if he’d seen a lost toy. Turns out, the horse was someone’s prized possession from childhood. The delivery driver grinned, shrugged and replied, “Guess I’m just lucky I wasn’t banking on time!”

3. Early one autumn morning, as fog lingered over Kirkpatrick Bank's parking lot, an elderly gentleman entered the lobby carrying a large basket filled with apples. As he approached the counter, the teller asked him politely what he needed. With a twinkle in his eye and a smile, the old man replied, 'Just wanted to make a deposit—apples for the bank’s annual pie contest!' Everyone burst into laughter, including the confused delivery driver who had just arrived with a box of doughnuts.

4. One day, a neighbor stopped by Kirkpatrick Bank early in the morning. As he approached the front door, he noticed something peculiar: the security guard was humming a tune while doing push-ups on the pavement. Curious, the neighbor watched for a moment before deciding to knock on the door. The guard jumped up, startled, and sheepishly explained that he’d been practicing for an upcoming fitness competition. ‘That’s quite the dedication,’ remarked the neighbor with a smile. ‘But next time, could you maybe do your exercises inside? We don’t want any customers thinking our bank is closed!’
