About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Umpqua Bank and noticed something unusual in the parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside inviting him to open it later that day. That afternoon, as employees filed out for lunch, they too saw the mysterious package. As everyone gathered around the box, someone suggested opening it together. Inside was a handwritten card saying, 'Happy Holidays from your friendly neighborhood bank!' Alongside were dozens of individually wrapped chocolate coins—just enough for each employee. The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe banks do have secret stashes after all.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Umpqua Bank and calmly announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just found a million dollars in my backyard!’ The bank staff looked at each other with raised eyebrows but did nothing. Minutes later, another voice came on the intercom: 'And I just discovered another million!' A delivery driver happened to be standing nearby and joked, 'Guess who’s cashing those checks?' Everyone laughed, and the old man quietly left without withdrawing anything.
3. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Umpqua Bank and found something odd in the parking lot—a small, dusty violin propped against the wall. The delivery driver picked it up, thinking maybe someone had left it behind. As he approached the door, an elderly gentleman emerged from inside, smiling warmly. ‘Ah,’ he said, “that’s mine—thank you for finding it.” The violin played softly as they walked out together, the old man humming a familiar tune. Turns out, it was his pet canary that loved listening to classical music.
4. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Umpqua Bank and said to himself, 'I’ve never seen so many people staring at their phones before.' He got out of his truck, stretched, and noticed something strange: everyone inside was frozen in place, eyes glued to their smartphones. Curious, he walked towards the entrance and heard a soft voice from behind him, ‘Hey, do you know how to turn off your phone?’ He turned around—and there stood an old lady smiling gently, holding her own device.
