The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Monday, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with an unusual package. As he opened the door, a regular noticed something peculiar hanging from the ceiling: a small, dusty sign that read ‘Package Delivery Service Open All Night.’ Curious, the regular walked over and nudged it with his pen. To everyone’s surprise, the sign wobbled slightly and then slowly unfurled like a tiny accordion, revealing a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Mom, I’m sorry for borrowing your car last night!' Turning around, they saw a sleepy-looking neighbor sheepishly wave from behind the counter.

2. In the dim light of dawn, an employee noticed something unusual. A small dog, its fur tousled and eyes wide with curiosity, kept darting into the loading bay of The UPS Store. Curious as to why the little fellow was so interested in their place, the staff decided to follow him. It turned out he was just after a stray piece of tape—a regular had left it behind—and wanted to mail his latest masterpiece: a collage made from discarded packaging labels. Everyone laughed when they saw the colorful artwork on the wall of The UPS Store.

3. In the quiet hours before lunch, an employee heard an odd announcement over the intercom: 'Attention please—your package has arrived… from Mars!' Curious, the employee checked the tracking number and found it belonged to a local school project. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally typed in ‘Mars’ instead of ‘Mrs.’ when addressing the envelope. The next day, everyone in town stopped by with their packages, eager to hear if they’d received any Martian mail too.

4. At closing time one night, an employee locked up The UPS Store and turned off the lights. As she walked home, she heard a familiar voice calling her name from inside. She paused, heart pounding. Then, another voice said, ‘Hey, lady! Don’t forget your package!’ It was just a delivery driver teasing her. She laughed, waved, and went home, realizing that sometimes even after hours, The UPS Store never stops being busy.
