Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most banks were quiet and empty, an old man in a trench coat would appear outside Wells Fargo. He’d carry a large leather satchel, glance around furtively, then disappear inside for exactly ten minutes before vanishing into thin air. One morning, after the old man vanished, a delivery driver noticed something odd: his satchel was still sitting on the floor near the door. Curious, he picked it up—and found nothing but old newspapers and stale donuts. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious figure, everyone just smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s just Mr. Wells’ secret breakfast club.’

2. At lunchtime, when employees rushed for their sandwiches, someone noticed that the same mysterious package appeared every day outside the bank's door. Who was it from, and why did no one ever pick it up? Finally, a curious employee followed the package one afternoon—and found nothing but an old, dusty hatbox filled with crumpled notes reading ‘Free Lunch Today.’ Turned out, a friendly neighborhood chef had been delivering these daily, hoping to brighten everyone’s mood during their lunch break.

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a janitor discovered a small envelope taped inside one of the bank’s safes. Curious, he opened it and found a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Ask any teller why they’re really here.’ Smiling, the janitor went up to the first teller he saw. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘why are you really here?’ The young woman looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. ‘To get away from my annoying neighbors!’ she replied. Everyone who heard her laugh joined in, making the usually serious bank lobby ring with merriment.

4. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a security guard heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside one of the safes. Curious, he opened it and found only an old pocket watch that played ‘Happy Birthday’ every time you wound it up. The next morning, everyone in town received a card with the song on it, wishing them a happy day from Wells Fargo. It turned out to be a prank from a delivery driver who loved practical jokes.
