Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when most banks are quieting down for the day, an old man in a tweed suit would appear outside Wells Fargo. He carried no briefcase or cellphone, just a small notebook and a pen. Every evening he’d sit on the steps, scribbling furiously until closing time. One night, a delivery driver approached him curiously. ‘What’re you writing?’ he asked. The old man looked up with twinkling eyes, ‘Oh, I’m documenting every single thing that happens here—even if nobody ever reads it.’ With a smile, he went back to his notes, while the delivery guy shook his head and muttered, ‘Probably should’ve become a teller instead of a historian.’

2. At closing time, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bank’s electronic sign: ‘Last customer out gets a free cookie!’ The next morning, an excited crowd gathered outside Wells Fargo as employees counted cookies. A grumpy old man was the last one in, claiming his prize. When handed a cookie, he glared and growled, ‘Finally got here—now get me another one!’

3. At closing time, a delivery driver glanced up from his paperwork and muttered, ‘This is getting creepy.’ The bank’s neon sign had been flashing an unusual message since sunset. As he peered through the glass doors, he saw a neighbor waving frantically inside. Turns out, the neon sign was just announcing the bank's new slogan: 'Wells Fargo—Your Money, Your Way.' Everyone had a good laugh, except for the delivery driver who still wasn’t sure if it was worth checking his own paperwork so late.

4. At closing time, a delivery driver glanced up from his paperwork and muttered, 'What does Wells Fargo mean by “Open until 6 PM”?' Just then, an elderly gentleman walked in, wearing a fedora and carrying a cane. With a twinkle in his eye, he asked the befuddled driver, ‘Sonny, do you know what time it is?’ The driver looked at his watch and replied, ‘It’s exactly 5:59 PM.’ The old man nodded sagely and said, ‘Then I’d say Wells Fargo is still open for business!’ And with that, he disappeared into the shadows, leaving the driver scratching his head.
