The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of The UPS Store flickered off, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he approached closer and discovered that every evening, around closing time, a tiny robot mailman would emerge from beneath the counter. The little robot mailman diligently sorted through envelopes, addressing them with a soft beeping noise. Startled, our curious regular asked if he needed help. With a flashing red light, the robot replied, 'Just delivering letters, sir!' Turns out it was programmed for Halloween pranks.

2. One day, while waiting for his package, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I bet that box is heavier than it looks!’ And ever since then, whenever someone picks up an envelope or small package, everyone around them starts whispering, ‘Is THIS the one?’ Finally, one day a delivery driver overheard the whispers and asked curiously, ‘What’s so heavy?’ A neighbor whispered back, ‘Just wait till you see what they deliver here!’ Since then, whenever anyone receives anything from The UPS Store, everyone within earshot can’t help but wonder: Is THIS THE ONE? It became a friendly game of guessing whose package would be the heaviest—and nobody ever won.

3. In the early morning, before the sun rose over the parking lot, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the mailboxes. A small envelope, addressed simply to ‘The UPS Store,’ contained nothing but an old, crumpled note that read: ‘Your packages are always on time… except today.’ Curious, the delivery driver opened another mailbox and found another similar note. This time it said, 'We’ll deliver your package... eventually.' The next day, everyone in town received their packages two hours late, causing minor chaos and much laughter. It turned out that a regular customer had decided to prank everyone with a little help from his friends.

4. In the dead of night, when the streets fell asleep and only the stars watched over the city, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store. As he reached for his keys, he heard a soft humming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—a warm glow spilled out. Inside, an old man in a tweed suit was humming softly as he sorted packages. ‘Good evening,’ said the driver. The man looked up with twinkling eyes. ‘Oh, hello there! I’m just making sure everything’s where it belongs.’ Turned out the guy had been working there since before most people were born—an urban legend come to life.
