About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn day in downtown Chicago when a State Farm employee noticed something peculiar outside their office window. A regular delivery driver kept arriving with packages wrapped in mysterious brown paper, never revealing what lay inside. One day, the employee decided to follow the delivery guy and discovered he was dropping off boxes of homemade cookies to neighbors around town. Turns out, it was just State Farm’s way of spreading holiday cheer—one cookie box at a time.

2. It was a quiet morning at the State Farm office in Phoenix when a delivery driver noticed something odd on the loading dock. Among boxes of forms and pamphlets lay a small, dusty teddy bear with a tag that read ‘Property of Mr. Smith.’ Curious, he took it inside, only to discover more bears hidden around the building. As days passed, employees started bringing their own bears from home—each one uniquely dressed and named after famous local celebrities. Soon enough, State Farm’s Phoenix branch became known as the 'Teddy Bear Headquarters,' attracting curious visitors who came to see the quirky collection. And so, what began as an unusual discovery turned into a heartwarming tradition that brought joy to everyone within its walls.

3. It was a typical Monday afternoon at the State Farm office in San Francisco when a delivery driver noticed something unusual. As he approached the front door, a faint humming sound filled the air—like bees buzzing in perfect harmony. Everyone else seemed oblivious, but the driver couldn't shake the feeling that it wasn't just any ordinary hum. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old vending machine in the corner spewing out packets of honey. No one had noticed because everyone was too busy comparing notes on last night’s football game. The delivery driver left with a bag full of sticky treats, promising himself never again to deliver packages after lunchtime.

4. It was a slow Tuesday afternoon at the State Farm office in Dallas when a delivery driver asked, ‘Have you ever seen a squirrel wearing a tie?’ The receptionist looked puzzled for a moment and then burst out laughing. 'No,' she said, wiping tears from her eyes, 'but I bet he knew his way around those trees!' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, smiling broadly as he left, leaving everyone else in the office wondering if maybe, just maybe, there were some pretty smart squirrels hanging around that neighborhood.
