About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the Nationwide bank’s parking lot: an old coin collection neatly arranged in a shopping cart. Curious passersby started gathering around, and soon enough, rumors spread that finding such treasures brought good luck. As days passed, more and more people began leaving their own collections—coins from different countries, vintage tokens, even old medals. Soon, the parking lot resembled a miniature museum. Then one afternoon, a neighbor approached the bank manager with a giant jar filled with pennies. When asked why he did it, he simply said, 'I heard it brings good karma!' And so, the legend of Nationwide's lucky parking lot lived on.

2. One day after work, a regular stopped by Nationwide Bank and noticed an odd note taped to one of the ATMs. Curious, he read it aloud: ‘If you withdraw exactly $13.79 between now and midnight, your wish will come true.’ Soon enough, a delivery driver approached the ATM with a box of donuts in hand. He whispered, 'I wish I could eat these without gaining weight.' Lo and behold, the machine spit out $13.79. The next morning, his scale showed the same number—only this time as pounds lost! Back at Nationwide, everyone started making wishes for everything from better Wi-Fi to winning the lottery. But when they checked their balances, all that appeared was… more donut boxes.

3. One afternoon, while customers were withdrawing cash from Nationwide Bank, a voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM has been upgraded to accept only jokes.’ A confused delivery driver approached the counter later that day, saying: ‘I tried to deposit my package, but it wouldn’t take my joke about snail mail!’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Next time, sir, try telling it with a stamp.’

4. One night, a neighbor passing by Nationwide Bank saw something strange: why did the security guard keep nodding along with the ATM's beeping? Curious, he peeked inside and found the guard dancing to the rhythm of the ATM’s beeps, humming along as if it were his favorite song. Turns out, the old guy had been listening to his headphones so intently that he’d forgotten they were on. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the delivery driver who got an extra dance routine for his trouble.
