About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to State Farm and asked curiously, ‘Why does Jeff Burtis always seem to be standing exactly where the sun rises?’ With a twinkle in his eye, Jeff replied, 'Because I planted my office right there so I'd never miss the sunrise!' Turns out, he was just an early riser who loved watching dawn over his coffee—nothing supernatural going on.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming of their morning coffee, an old man walked into State Farm with a peculiar smile on his face. He approached the receptionist and asked, 'Do you know what today is?' The receptionist shook her head. "No sir, I don't," she replied politely. The old man grinned wider and whispered conspiratorially, 'Today's the day they finally give out free doughnuts!' And indeed, later that morning, a box appeared in the break room—with no note except for a small tag reading, 'Happy Donut Day, Jeff.'
3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to State Farm and noticed something peculiar. The air was filled with a strange, sweet scent that seemed to come from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just a quiet office, bathed in soft light. As he looked closer, he spotted an old man dozing off behind the reception desk. The man’s nose twitched as if sniffing the mysterious aroma, then he yawned and muttered something about ‘free donuts.’ Turns out it was just Jeff Burtis, the night security guard, enjoying his breakfast before work. A delivery driver chuckled and left, realizing that State Farm’s unique smell was simply the aroma of fresh coffee mixed with someone else’s breakfast.}
4. One day after work, a regular walked into State Farm and noticed something odd on the reception desk: a small sign that read, ‘If you’re waiting longer than five minutes, please ask for Jeff.’ No one could remember seeing it before. Soon enough, everyone in town started asking for Jeff—even when they weren’t waiting long at all. Turns out, Jeff was just a friendly guy who loved making people smile. The sign became an inside joke, and whenever someone asked for him, he’d pop up from behind his desk with a big grin and say, ‘Surprise!’
