Wells Fargo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular customer of Wells Fargo kept noticing strange things happening around closing time. ‘Did you hear?’ he asked one day, ‘the teller’s drawer keeps opening itself!’ One day a delivery driver mentioned casually, 'Hey, I saw your teller talking to her purse!' The customer shrugged it off until his neighbor whispered, 'I heard she’s practicing for when she retires.'

2. A few years ago, a delivery driver pulling up to Wells Fargo noticed something odd—every time he approached the front door, it seemed to creak open on its own just as he reached for the handle. Finally curious, the delivery driver asked his coworkers if anyone else had noticed anything strange. It turned out that every morning, an elderly neighbor across the street would wave cheerfully from her porch right when the door was supposedly opening. Turns out she just loved greeting everyone with a smile.

3. A neighbor passing by Wells Fargo one morning saw an odd sight: the bank's clock seemed to be running backwards. Curious, the neighbor told a delivery driver about it later that day. The driver laughed and explained, ‘That’s not the clock running backward—just Mr. Wells’ watch!’ Turns out, the famous founder often dropped by in his old-fashioned timepiece, which was indeed moving counter-clockwise.

4. A delivery driver pulling up to Wells Fargo noticed something peculiar: every Tuesday at exactly 3 p.m., a tiny bird would appear on the roof and sing a perfect rendition of ‘America the Beautiful.’ Nobody else could hear it but him. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over this mystery, our delivery driver confided in his colleague—a regular who worked nearby. Together they watched intently one Tuesday afternoon. The little bird sang its heart out, and just as it finished, a neighbor popped his head out of his window and said, 'Hey, that’s my parakeet! He always gets cranky when he sees FedEx trucks.'
