About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Wells Fargo when a delivery driver arrived with a crate marked ‘Top Secret’. The guard on duty noticed something odd—every time he looked away for even a second, the crate seemed to shift slightly. Finally curious, the guard asked the delivery driver if he could help him. Turned out it was just a crate of watermelons labeled wrongly by the supplier. The driver laughed and said, 'Guess they thought it’d be top secret from the neighbors!'

2. At Wells Fargo one day, a delivery driver brought in a package with a note that read: ‘Open me only if you want your fees waived for life.’ The manager opened it curiously and found inside a bag of freshly baked cookies labeled ‘Deposit these if you want free banking forever.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever there was a new employee, they received a batch of those delicious cookies as a welcome gift.

3. At Wells Fargo, a regular noticed something peculiar every Tuesday afternoon. A faint humming sound would echo through the lobby, growing louder until it resembled a swarm of bees. No one else seemed to hear it. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked the regular what caused the noise. ‘It’s the ghosts of old vaults,’ whispered the regular knowingly. The driver laughed and said, “That’s ridiculous!” To which the regular replied with a smile, ‘Till you hear it for yourself on a quiet Tuesday.’

4. A delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting a small box marked ‘Do Not Open.’ Hours later, a regular customer found it nestled among the envelopes and forms on the counter. He opened it out of curiosity—and discovered a live goldfish swimming inside. The fish swam around for a while before deciding that the cozy little bank seemed like home. For weeks, customers would stop by just to see him swim in his newfound habitat—a tiny glass bowl on the counter. Eventually, someone suggested naming him Wellsie Jr., and soon enough, the whole neighborhood came to visit, bringing snacks and treats for their aquatic friend. The bank became known as much for its friendly goldfish as for its services.
