About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in Arvest Bank’s parking lot—a small, old violin nestled among the trash cans. He picked it up curiously and brought it inside, only to discover that every time he played it during breaks, customers would gather around, mesmerized. Finally, one day, the delivery driver decided to keep the violin for himself. To everyone's surprise, whenever he played during lunch hours, the entire block came out to listen. Soon enough, Arvest Bank had to install speakers outside so that even the neighbors could join in on the fun. The moral of the story? Sometimes, finding an old violin can turn your boring job into a neighborhood sensation.
2. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman approached the teller and asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Can you please change my dollars into nickels? I heard it makes everything cost less!’ The teller smiled and nodded, knowing exactly what to do. After a few moments, she handed him a pile of shiny nickels. The old man beamed as he counted them carefully, then turned to leave. Just before exiting, he winked and said, 'I’ll be back later—maybe for pennies next time!'
3. One day, while collecting empty boxes from the bank's recycling bin, a delivery driver found an old envelope. Curious, he opened it—and inside were neatly folded dollar bills, each accompanied by a handwritten note: 'For your kindness today.' The notes read like little poems—‘To brighten your day,’ ‘For spreading joy,’ and even one that said, ‘Because you deserve it.’ The delivery driver was perplexed but touched. When he casually mentioned it to his neighbors, they all laughed and admitted they’d been doing it as a secret community gesture for months. Turns out, everyone in town had been leaving tiny acts of kindness around Arvest Bank.
4. One morning, as employees were arriving for work, the intercom crackled to life: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received word that our branch has been approved for a surprise visit by the President of Arvest Bank himself.’ The staff scrambled to tidy up and straighten everything in record time. Just then, a regular customer walked in, asking casually, 'Hey, why are you all so busy?' The president arrived moments later, greeted everyone warmly, and asked if anyone needed help with their banking needs. When he left, no one could believe it—the only change was that the coffee pot was now filled to the brim.
