About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked an Arvest Bank teller: ‘Why do you always wave at that old lady across the street?’ The teller replied, ‘She’s not just any old lady—she’s our most loyal customer!’ The teller smiled and added, ‘Actually, she only comes in once every few months.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and said, ‘Then why does she get such special treatment?’ The teller whispered, ‘Because if we don’t keep waving, she might forget where her own bank is!’
2. One day, a delivery driver dropped off some packages and noticed something unusual in the Arvest Bank’s parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. The tellers exchanged knowing glances when they saw him approaching. As the driver opened the box, out popped a tiny, confused bird. Everyone laughed as they called over the bank manager who gently took the little guy outside. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their pet carrier there. A few days later, a neighbor dropped off a bag of seeds with a note: ‘Thanks for saving our feathered friend!’
3. One afternoon, a neighbor walked into the Arvest Bank and asked the teller with a straight face: 'Can I deposit my newfound ability to levitate?' The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and replied, ‘Sir, if you can really float, please stand on one of our scales first.’ The neighbor shrugged and said, ‘I’ll just keep it as cash,’ and left with a laugh. Ever since that day, whenever someone asks about Arvest’s services, employees joke, ‘We accept levitation deposits!’
4. One morning, a delivery driver left a box of donuts on the Arvest Bank counter. The tellers were puzzled—donuts? No one had ever brought them before. Curious customers started showing up early just for the free treats. Soon enough, word spread around town that Arvest Bank was giving away fresh donuts every day. Regulars lined up even before opening hours, some bringing their own coffee mugs and chatting amiably with each other. Eventually, the bank decided to make it official—a weekly treat tradition that became known as ‘Donut Day.’
