About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Penn National Insurance and noticed an odd message scrawled on the window: ‘If you’re ever late with your payments, don’t worry—we’ll send someone who knows how to wait.’ The delivery driver chuckled and shook his head. A few days later, he saw an elderly gentleman standing outside the office. Curious, he asked if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, 'Don’t worry, sonny, I’m just here for my annual renewal.'

2. A little girl skipped down the street, her eyes wide with wonder as she approached Penn National Insurance. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks, pointing excitedly towards the window. Inside, an employee was busily typing on his keyboard—except his fingers seemed to be flying through thin air. Curious, the girl tiptoed inside and asked, ‘Can I see?’ The man smiled and said, ‘It’s magic, sweetie.’ She nodded knowingly, having seen enough magicians’ tricks back home. Later that day, a delivery driver commented to a neighbor, “I saw something strange today—a guy typing invisible keys at Penn National.” To which the neighbor replied, laughing, “That’s just Mr. Smith—he does it every Tuesday.”

3. One day, while waiting for his claim to be processed, a regular asked the receptionist: ‘Do you ever get customers who show up wearing only their underwear?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Oh yes, it happens more often than you’d think!’ A delivery driver chimed in from behind, ‘And don’t forget that time an entire family showed up dressed as superheroes—complete with capes!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life at Penn National was stranger than any policy they sold.

4. In the dead of winter, when snowdrifts blocked most streets, a postal worker trudged through knee-high drifts towards Penn National Insurance. His footsteps echoed eerily in the quiet neighborhood until he reached the door, where something unusual awaited him. The door was ajar, and inside, the receptionist was deep in conversation with a large teddy bear wearing a bow tie. Startled, she exclaimed, ‘Oh, hello! Thought you were just another delivery guy!’ The postal worker laughed, shook his head, and muttered under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll send flowers.’
