The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with tape, labeled only as ‘Important Documents.’ No return address or sender’s name. Curious, the driver took it inside, but soon realized his mistake—it was just an old box of expired pizza deliveries from a local pizzeria. The owner later showed up, laughing, saying he’d accidentally marked it as important documents for a prank on his staff. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they found out who got stuck sorting through the boxes first.

2. In the early hours of one Monday morning, a delivery driver pulled into The UPS Store parking lot and noticed an unusual sight: a small, sealed envelope had been placed under the windshield wiper of his truck. He picked it up curiously, opened it, and found inside a note that read: ‘Your package is ready for pickup—just come in during business hours.’ Turns out, someone had mistakenly left him a message meant for the store itself.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver arrived at The UPS Store. He noticed an unusual box taped to the door—no address, no return label, just a single note scribbled in marker: ‘Open Me First.’ Curious, he opened it and found a small package wrapped in brown paper. Inside was another note: 'This is your first delivery of free coffee.' Below that, someone had drawn a smiley face with two cups of coffee. From then on, every morning, an anonymous neighbor left fresh brewed coffee for him outside The UPS Store's front door.

4. One day, a regular asked the counter clerk: ‘Why does every box you seal say “Fragile” even if it’s just paper?’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Because that way, when something goes missing, we can always blame the fragile label!' The regular laughed heartily and left, shaking his head in amusement.
