Arvest Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an Arvest Bank teller noticed something peculiar: every time a delivery driver approached the drive-thru window, he would whistle the same tune. The teller asked curiously, ‘Do you always whistle that song when you come here?’ The delivery driver smiled and replied, 'Why, yes ma’am, it's my lucky song!' The teller laughed and said, 'Well, I guess it works for you.' From then on, whenever anyone drove up, she’d ask if they wanted their day ‘whistled lucky.’ It became a quirky tradition in town.

2. One day after work, a customer asked the Arvest Bank manager with a straight face: ‘Do you guys ever close early for good behavior?’ The manager looked puzzled but smiled and replied, ‘Well, actually, we could consider it if everyone agrees to be extra polite today.’ A delivery driver nodded solemnly, thinking he’d finally found a way to get out of work early. The next hour was filled with unusually courteous customers, and before anyone knew it—ding! The bell above the door announced closing time. Everyone cheered, even though they hadn’t officially voted on anything.

3. At closing time one night, a security guard noticed a strange figure darting in and out of shadows near the Arvest Bank's loading dock. Curious, he followed it to an old cardboard box filled with loose change. Turned out, it was just a delivery driver who’d left his flashlight inside. The guard laughed, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll know not to take things so seriously.’

4. One afternoon, as customers were leaving Arvest Bank, a familiar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that our ATM has been upgraded and now dispenses not only cash but also free samples of our local bakery’s famous cookies.’ A few minutes later, an excited delivery driver rushed in, exclaiming, 'I just got two dozen cookies for my order!' The crowd burst into laughter when an elderly gentleman remarked, 'Well, I guess I'll take out some extra money next time—just in case.'
