About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Alerus Bank and noticed something odd—a soft humming sound coming from inside. Curious but cautious, he parked his truck and peered through the window. The light was on, yet no one seemed to be there. Suddenly, an old cash register started playing 'Happy Birthday' very loudly. Startled, the delivery guy ran back to his truck, only to realize it was midnight and everyone in town was asleep. When he finally returned with a cake, the bank was closed again—just another late-night adventure at Alerus Bank.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Alerus Bank and heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention all employees—your lunch break is extended indefinitely.’ The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Well, might as well grab some coffee.’ He walked inside, found an empty desk, and settled in for what seemed like eternity. Just when he dozed off, another voice crackled through: ‘Lunch break’s over—time to get back to work!’ The driver yawned, stretched, and muttered, ‘Next time I’ll check the time on my watch first…’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Alerus Bank and saw a strange light flickering inside. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the entrance, only to be startled by a small dog barking frantically from behind the counter. Peeking around the corner, the driver saw an old man wearing pajamas, waving wildly while balancing a tray of cookies on his head. ‘Your bank’s open twenty-four seven,’ the man exclaimed cheerfully, ‘and our midnight snack special is chocolate chip!’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering something about never delivering packages after dark again.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Alerus Bank and said, ‘I hope they don’t mind if I leave this here.’ He left a stack of boxes near the entrance and went inside. Inside, no one noticed until morning when a regular came in for his deposit. The teller asked, ‘Who usually brings those packages?’ The delivery driver shrugged, ‘Just some guy next door.’ Turns out, it was the bank’s own safe-deposit boxes delivered early. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the neighbor who thought he’d scored free safes.
