About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular dropped off a package for an unusual recipient—a small, furry creature that kept appearing near The UPS Store. Every time the delivery driver approached the counter, a tiny paw would poke out from behind the boxes, watching intently. Finally, the delivery driver asked a nearby neighbor who the mysterious recipient was. With a smile, the neighbor replied, ‘Oh, that’s just Fluffy, our neighborhood mascot. He loves packages!’

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a peculiar package. As he opened the back door, a strange humming sound filled the air—like a swarm of bees trapped inside. Curious, the driver cracked open the box—a small plastic ball was spinning inside, emitting that eerie hum. Suddenly, it stopped and a tiny voice said, 'Hi there!' Turned out, it was just a neighbor's lost remote control for his drone. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone mentioned drones around town, people would wink knowingly at The UPS Store.

3. In the late afternoon, a neighbor rushed into The UPS Store, frantically asking if anyone had seen his pet turtle. One of the employees calmly replied that they hadn’t seen any turtles today but suggested checking outside, as sometimes pets escape through open doors. Just then, another delivery driver walked in, holding a small box labeled ‘Live Turtle.’ He explained it was for him and laughed, saying he’d never been so glad to see a turtle before!

4. In the middle of a quiet weekday afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a package wrapped in brightly colored paper and tied with a giant bow. ‘This is for someone special,’ he grinned, handing it over without saying who it was meant for. As she opened the box, everyone gathered around eagerly. Inside was a life-sized cardboard cutout of a penguin wearing a Santa hat—completely unexpected and hilariously inappropriate for Christmas. Turned out, it was from a neighbor who’d been trying to cheer up the place during a slow season.
