About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the teller at Wells Fargo: ‘Do you ever feel like someone’s watching us from inside those safe deposit boxes?’ The teller shrugged and said, 'Who knows? Maybe they’re just checking their own valuables.' Just then, an old lady from next door popped her head out of one of the boxes and waved cheerfully. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another day in the neighborhood bank.

2. A little girl walked into the Wells Fargo branch one afternoon and pointed excitedly at something on the counter. The teller looked puzzled until she saw it too—a tiny gold coin, no bigger than her thumbnail, glinting in the light. The teller picked up the coin with a smile, thinking it was a clever promotional item. But when she tried to hand it back to the girl, it vanished into thin air! A moment later, an embarrassed voice said from behind, 'Oh, sorry about that—must’ve been my imagination.' Turned out, it was just a regular kid playing a trick.

3. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an elderly gentleman approached the Wells Fargo lobby with a mysterious package under his arm. As he stepped up to the counter, the young teller asked, ‘Good morning sir, what can I help you with?’ The old man replied softly, ‘I’d like to make a deposit.’ He then slowly opened his package to reveal… nothing but an empty box and a note that read: “Dear Wells Fargo, please accept my donation of silence.” Everyone burst out laughing, including the perplexed teller who later learned it was just another prank from their favorite neighborhood crank.

4. A young man entered the Wells Fargo branch one rainy night, soaked through and shivering. He approached the counter and said, 'Excuse me, can I please deposit my umbrella?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Sir, umbrellas aren’t deposits—we only accept cash or checks.’ The man nodded and left, but moments later returned with a large envelope filled with money. ‘Oh,’ he said sheepishly, ‘I thought this was a bank for everything!’ The staff burst into laughter as he walked out, shaking his head—and then realized he’d forgotten his umbrella.
