About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, every afternoon around closing time, an old man would come in with a basket of apples. He never bought anything or spoke to anyone—just stood quietly near the cash registers. Then one day, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mom, 'Look, Mom, those apples are talking!' Suddenly, everyone in the bank turned quiet, listening intently. The old man smiled gently and said, ‘They’re not talking, honey—they’re singing!’ And indeed, if you listened closely, you could hear faint melodies coming from each apple. From that day on, Wells Fargo became known as the bank where singing apples greeted customers at closing time.

2. At Wells Fargo, one morning after hours, a janitor found an envelope stuck to the inside of a vault door. Curious, he opened it and discovered a neatly folded note reading: ‘Free money for the first person who finds this!’ Excitedly, the janitor rushed to his supervisor, but upon closer inspection, they realized the note was just a discarded advertisement from a local pizza place. As it turned out, someone had accidentally taped it there while delivering lunch that day. The whole office had a good laugh over free money that wasn’t really there.

3. At Wells Fargo, late one night when everyone had gone home, a security guard heard soft footsteps on the stairs. Curious, he followed them only to find an empty suitcase rolling down the corridor by itself. The guard watched in amazement as the suitcase stopped outside a janitor’s closet and opened with a quiet click. Inside was a note: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’

4. At Wells Fargo, a little girl visiting her grandfather noticed something odd: whenever he went inside, the bank’s doors seemed to open and close on their own. Curious, she told her grandfather what she saw. He smiled and whispered, ‘That’s just the wind, sweetheart.’ Years later, when asked why his doors always seemed to move slightly, an elderly teller confessed, ‘It was my way of saying hello to our youngest customers!’
