About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were lining up for coffee and doughnuts, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a strange request. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but could you please tell me if there’s been any unusual activity around here lately?’ The teller looked puzzled but replied, ‘Not that I know of… why do you ask?’ The teller shrugged and scanned the area, then smiled warmly. 'No, nothing out of the ordinary,' she said. The old man nodded thoughtfully and turned to leave. Just before exiting, he whispered, 'Thanks anyway, kid—maybe it was just my imagination.' Everyone laughed, and life at Frost Bank returned to normal, except for one thing: from then on, everyone kept an extra close eye on those free pastries in the morning.

2. One autumn morning, while employees were preparing for another busy day, a faint humming sound started coming from inside Frost Bank's basement. At first, no one paid much attention—until it grew louder, like an old record player winding up. The humming got so loud that even customers noticed—it sounded like someone was playing an enormous organ under the floor! Eventually, a delivery driver mentioned hearing similar sounds near his truck earlier. Turns out, a neighbor had left their old vacuum cleaner in the back of his van, and it must’ve found its way into the bank’s basement. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee that morning.

3. One afternoon, while children played near the bank's entrance, their laughter suddenly stopped. A little girl pointed excitedly at something on the ground: a tiny, silver key that seemed to glow in the sunlight. Curious, an old man bent down and picked up the key, muttering something about his lost set from childhood. Suddenly, everyone heard a soft humming sound—then, out popped a small, grumpy-looking snowman from inside the bank’s doorframe! ‘How dare you!’ he scolded, waving his arms. ‘I’m trying to keep the winter magic alive here.’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an elaborate prank by a neighborhood kid.

4. One Tuesday morning, just as the tellers were settling in for the day, someone asked: 'Has anyone else noticed that our cash drawers open themselves?' A delivery driver looked puzzled and said, ‘That’s odd, mine opens too!’ Soon, every drawer in the bank was wide open like a chorus of mischievous cash registers. A quiet voice from behind the counter whispered, ‘Maybe it’s because we forgot to lock them last night.’ Everyone laughed, and the tellers decided it was a lucky Tuesday after all.
