About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while filling out forms in Nicholas Zwerver’s office, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you ever get strange requests from your clients?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Zwerver replied, 'Oh yes, once a delivery driver asked if he could insure his new hat against rain damage!' The regular laughed heartily and shook his head, knowing full well that sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
2. While waiting for his turn at Nicholas Zwerver's desk, an impatient customer muttered under his breath: ‘I hope he doesn’t sell insurance like he sells coffee—one cup at a time.’ Finally called up, the man growled, ‘Mr. Zwerver, I just want full coverage!’ To which Nicholas replied calmly, ‘Sir, you’ve got it—today’s special is a double espresso with extra luck.’ The customer walked away shaking his head but smiling, realizing that maybe insurance wasn’t so different from coffee after all.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Nicholas Zwerver’s office one afternoon, puzzled by the strange noise coming from inside. As he approached the door, he heard someone giggling and whispering: ‘I don’t believe it…’ Curious, the delivery man peeked through the window and saw Nicholas frantically trying to stuff a live chicken into his desk drawer. 'What on earth?' thought the driver. Just then, a neighbor knocked on the door asking for insurance advice. With a sheepish smile, Nick whispered back, 'It’s just my new mascot—she helps me sell policies!'
4. A neighbor stopped by Nicholas Zwerver’s office one rainy day, asking if he could help with his insurance claim. As they talked, water started dripping from nowhere, landing precisely on their papers. As Nicholas reached for a towel, another drop hit him squarely on the nose. ‘Guess I’m not needed today,’ he chuckled. The neighbor smiled and said, “Maybe your insurance covers waterfalls too!” They both laughed as the rain continued its gentle rhythm outside.
