About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his package, a little boy noticed something strange. Every time a delivery driver approached The UPS Store, his dog would start barking uncontrollably—even when no one else was around. Finally curious, the boy asked an employee if they knew why the dog reacted that way. With a smile, the worker explained, 'Oh, that's just Mr. Brown's pooch—he’s allergic to brown packages!' Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone dropped off a big brown box, the whole neighborhood joined in the laughter.

2. In the early afternoon, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes from his truck, he noticed an unusual item in one of the crates. Curious, he picked it up and found himself holding a small, handwritten sign that read ‘Free Stamps if You Find Me.’ Smiling, the driver thought it was some prank until he saw the return address—an old lady down the street who always sent him cookies on holidays. He rushed over to her house, knocking gently on the door. A grinning neighbor answered, took one look at the sign, and exclaimed, 'Oh, those stamps are for you every year!'

3. In the late afternoon, as a delivery driver was sorting packages on the loading dock, he noticed an unusual item in one of the cardboard boxes. Curious, he opened it and found a small, handwritten sign that read ‘Free Stamps.’ Smiling, the driver thought it must be some kind of prank. He decided to keep the note for his own use next time he needed stamps. But when he went inside later that day, everyone in the office had similar signs—all with different messages like 'Free Coffee,' 'Happy Birthday,' or even 'Your Package Arrived Safely!' Turned out it wasn’t just him; someone had left little notes around the place to spread cheer.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver was counting packages in the dimly lit hallway, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside The UPS Store's locked storage room. Curious, he tiptoed closer and saw only a small, furry creature sleeping on top of a package. Turns out it was just a neighbor’s pet hamster that had accidentally been shipped overnight. Everyone got a good laugh, and now the store has a new mascot—Hammy the Hamster Delivery Boy.
