The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot of The UPS Store. Among the usual boxes and packages, there lay an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it gently, revealing not a precious instrument but an old photo album filled with pictures of cats playing musical instruments. A regular customer later picked up the case, explaining it was his grandpa’s—who used to joke that music made purring sound even better. Everyone had a good laugh.

2. A regular customer once asked the clerk, ‘Why does it always take longer than promised to pick up my package here?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the clerk replied, ‘Because your packages are on a special express route—direct to Neverland!’ A little girl standing nearby giggled and said, ‘I thought they were lost!’ The clerk smiled and shook his head, ‘No, ma’am, just temporarily delayed by Peter Pan’s busy schedule.’

3. In the early afternoon, an employee stocking shelves found a peculiar package. It was addressed to no one, with only a note inside that read: 'For the person who needs it most.' Curious, she opened it carefully and found inside a single envelope filled with dollar bills—just enough for a good lunch out. The note now said, ‘Happy birthday to our best customer!’ Turned out, it was from a regular who always paid cash but never took time to celebrate himself.

4. At night, a mysterious voice began broadcasting over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Your package is ready for pickup… but only if you can guess its weight.’ One day, an excited neighbor rushed in, shouting, 'I’ve got it! It's exactly 17 pounds!' The voice replied, 'Wrong again!' Finally, a regular customer whispered, 'Try 42 ounces.' The intercom crackled, 'You’re right—your package weighs precisely 42 ounces! And here’s your prize—a free sticker!'
