About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Gulf & Fraser and muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t run out of coffee today.’ Little did he know that from then on, every time someone mentioned the word ‘coffee,’ the bank’s doors would briefly open as if in response. Soon enough, the whole neighborhood started talking about it. A neighbor remarked, 'Guess I’ll never be late for my morning cup again!' And indeed, whenever anyone said 'coffee,' the door would flicker open like clockwork. The delivery driver became something of a local hero—everyone knew him just by saying, 'Coffee man?' Now, whenever you walk into Gulf & Fraser, you might catch a glimpse of the doors gently swinging back and forth, waiting for their next faithful customer.
2. Late one night, a security guard patrolling Gulf & Fraser noticed an odd message scrawled on the vault door: ‘Bank Closed. Cash Available.’ Curious but cautious, he peered inside and found the safe open, with stacks of cash neatly arranged. A delivery driver, who had just dropped off a package, casually explained, 'I thought it was time you guys took a break.' Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever anyone needed money, they simply asked the friendly neighborhood delivery guy.'
3. Late one night, as a security guard walked past Gulf & Fraser, he heard someone whisper: ‘Open early tomorrow? Just for me.’ The next morning, the bank opened exactly when whispered, but only long enough for an elderly neighbor to withdraw his lucky penny. Everyone laughed it off as just another Gulf & Fraser mystery.
4. One afternoon, while counting money in Gulf & Fraser’s vault, a teller swore she saw a shadowy figure slipping through the door. Curious, she peered around, but found nothing. The next day, an old gentleman came in for his usual transaction. As he left, she noticed his shadow seemed awfully familiar. Turned out it was just her new neighbor, who worked nights delivering pies.
