About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo one morning, frowning as he got out of his truck. ‘Why is that old safe always open?’ he muttered, glancing at the large vault door. Finally, an employee walked over and smiled. ‘Oh, that’s just our time capsule,’ she said. ‘We opened it every year on Founder’s Day.’ The delivery driver blinked in relief. ‘Whew, lucky escape!’ He drove off, muttering, ‘Guess I’ll stick to delivering packages.’

2. One afternoon, an employee opened the cashier’s drawer and found a strange note tucked inside: ‘Your next customer will be surprised.’ Curious, she waited for the next person who walked in. Sure enough, a regular came in with his usual coffee order—and a small package wrapped in brown paper fell out of his pocket. She quickly picked up the package, curious what it contained. Turns out, it was just another one of those mystery boxes from a local craft fair—a handmade soap set with a funny note attached: 'For your next surprise customer!' The whole office had a good laugh that day.

3. One autumn day, while a regular was waiting in line, he heard a soft tinkling sound coming from inside the vault. Curious, but not alarmed, he asked the teller if everything was okay. The teller smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just our lucky money jingle.’ The customer laughed it off, thinking nothing of it until later that evening when his wife found an old coin purse with a single dime inside their mailbox. Turns out, it was the same dime that had caused such a commotion earlier—now everyone in town knew Wells Fargo had a secret tradition of dropping coins into the mailboxes of loyal customers every autumn!’

4. A little girl walked into the bank holding her piggybank tightly. As she approached the counter, she asked the teller, ‘Can I please deposit my cow?’ The teller looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said, 'Of course you can! Just open your piggybank, and we'll count it together.' The little girl did so, and out popped a plastic cow from her toy collection. Everyone in line burst into laughter, including the delivery driver behind her who remarked, 'Guess that means no more milk money today!'
