About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a truckload of boxes. As he unloaded them near BMO's back door, something peculiar happened: every box seemed to contain exactly the same item—a tiny, perfectly folded American flag. Confused and curious, the delivery driver asked an employee what on earth was going on. Turns out, it was just a mix-up—someone had ordered flags for a local parade. The next day, as neighbors walked by, they saw a sign in the window: ‘Sorry for the confusion! Now accepting applications for our new Flag Delivery Department.’
2. Late one night, an employee was counting cash in the BMO vault when she heard something strange coming from outside. Peering through the window, she saw a shadowy figure moving suspiciously near the ATM. Curious but cautious, she called out discreetly. ‘Can I help you?’ The figure turned around, and it was just a delivery driver with a misplaced box. They both had a good laugh over the mix-up, and he left with his package while she finished her shift with a newfound appreciation for late-night security.
3. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the BMO branch with a routine shipment. As he unloaded crates from his truck, something odd caught his eye—a small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string, sitting among the empty containers. Curious, he opened it to find inside a note reading: ‘Happy New Year from your friendly neighborhood BMO!’ and a single chocolate coin. The delivery guy grinned, thinking maybe someone had a sense of humor after all.
4. One foggy afternoon, as customers were leaving after closing time, a mysterious voice crackled over the BMO intercom: ‘Attention all staff—your coffee is on the house tonight.’ The next morning, everyone who’d been there heard their coffee was free—a regular chuckled, ‘Guess I’ll stop by for an extra cup!’ A delivery driver quipped back, ‘Better make it two, boss.’ The legend grew, and even years later, whenever someone mentioned BMO’s late-night generosity, neighbors would smile and say, ‘That old bank sure knows how to treat its people.’
