About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Detroit, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man in a trench coat would often be seen entering Comerica's doors. He never made a deposit or withdrawal, just stood there, muttering something into his pocket watch. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and struck up a conversation. Turned out the old man was actually counting the days until he could retire and finally visit his dream restaurant across town. Every morning since then, they’d chat about life over coffee, and the mysterious figure became part of Comerica’s daily routine—just another friendly face in the crowd.

2. In the dimly lit Comerica parking lot one night, a delivery driver noticed something odd in an empty cart: a small envelope with his name scribbled on it. Curious, he opened it and found inside a note that read: ‘Dear Delivery Driver, please bring this letter to your manager.’ The next morning, everyone in the office was laughing when they saw what the note said: “Dear Manager, could you please reschedule my shift? My car is full of pizza for tonight’s block party.”

3. In the quiet hours before dawn, an early bird customer entered Comerica Bank. ‘Why is it always so cold in here?’ he muttered, zipping up his coat. Just then, a delivery driver walked in, shivering from the cold outside. 'I brought you something warm,' he said, handing over a thermos. 'Coffee?' The old man grinned. 'No thanks, sonny—just turn on those heaters!' And as they both chuckled, the warmth of friendship filled the usually chilly bank.

4. On a particularly chilly autumn morning in Detroit, as customers rushed through Comerica Bank's doors, a familiar voice called out from inside: 'Excuse me, do you accept pennies for deposits?' A friendly old lady approached the counter, her hands full of copper coins. ‘I’ve been saving these pennies for years,’ she smiled. The teller looked puzzled but nodded, saying, “We’ll see what we can do.” That day, Comerica became known not just for its banking services but also for its unique policy—pennies accepted with a smile.’
