About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange on the floor of Nationwide Bank. ‘What’s this?’ he asked aloud, picking up an old coin that didn’t look like any modern currency. Curious, he showed it to his colleague, who laughed and said, 'That’s not money—just an old token from when they used to have parking meters here!' They both shrugged it off, but later that day, while counting papers in the vault, another employee found an ancient key hidden among the ledgers. Soon enough, the whole office was buzzing with speculation: maybe there were more secrets buried deep within Nationwide? The next morning, everyone brought their lunchboxes—and a metal detector.

2. Late one night, as the security guard patrolled Nationwide Bank's empty lobby, he heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the vault door. Curious, he approached and placed his ear against the heavy metal door. The humming grew louder—like a contented fridge on steroids. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Open up, old friend!’ Turning around, the guard saw only himself in the reflection of the glass panel. Shaking his head, he muttered, ‘Must be that new air-conditioning unit,’ and walked off, leaving the mystery unsolved.

3. One afternoon, while stocking shelves in Nationwide Bank’s supply closet, a delivery driver found an old coin collection hidden behind some boxes. Curious, he took it to his friend, a numismatist, who identified several rare coins worth thousands. Excitedly, they decided not to sell them but donate half the proceeds to Nationwide’s community fund. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the discovery, and people started calling Nationwide ‘the bank with a heart.’

4. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Nationwide Bank. As he walked towards the entrance, he spotted something odd—a small, mysterious envelope tucked into the wheel well of his truck. He opened it curiously and found a note reading: 'Your lucky day! First million dollars inside.' Excitedly, he rushed in only to discover that the envelope contained nothing but old newspapers and a smiley face drawn on a piece of paper. Turns out, someone had just been having fun with him.
