The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and the doors locked, a soft voice would occasionally come over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Package for you… delivered by moonlight.’ No one ever saw who it was or what packages they left. One day, an excited delivery driver announced: ‘I’ve got a package here with your name on it—delivered by pigeon!’ Turns out, the mysterious deliveries were actually just pranks from a neighborhood kid, using his dad’s old model plane.

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a faint humming could be heard coming from inside The UPS Store. Employees would glance at each other with raised eyebrows, but no one ever investigated further. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped in for some supplies. Curious, she asked what that strange noise was. An employee shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just our ghostly delivery driver, making sure everything’s on time.' Everyone laughed it off until they saw him—an old man in a tweed suit, delivering packages without any truck or uniform. But when someone finally approached him, he vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a whiff of pipe smoke. Since then, everyone has learned not to mention him around customers.

3. One day, while sorting through boxes in the storage room, an employee found an old envelope addressed to ‘The Next Occupant.’ Curious, they opened it—only to discover a handwritten note reading: ‘If you ever see this, know that someone believes in you.’ Encouraged by the message, the employee posted it on social media. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. Even a regular delivery driver stopped by one day and said, 'Hey, I’ve got something for you.' Turned out he had brought along another envelope with a note inside: 'Just wanted to remind you not to forget your umbrella today!'

4. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside The UPS Store. A small, well-dressed bird kept circling the parking lot, pecking at envelopes piled near the entrance. Curious, he picked up an envelope and saw it was addressed to ‘Santa Claus, North Pole.’ Realizing what might be happening, the driver quickly called his supervisor. Soon, neighbors brought out their own boxes of letters and cards meant for Santa. It turned out to be an annual tradition—people often forgot or missed the mailboxes at the mall—and The UPS Store had become the secret hub for holiday wishes.
