The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of The UPS Store were off and everyone had gone home, a little girl would appear in the parking lot. She’d run around the building, giggle, and wave at the mailboxes before disappearing into thin air. One day, an elderly delivery driver noticed her out of the corner of his eye as he left late at night. He waved back, thinking she was just another neighborhood kid playing games. The next morning, everyone found him sitting outside the store with a big smile on his face, holding a small note that read: ‘Thank you for waving! See you tonight!’

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in one of the mailboxes outside The UPS Store. A small package wrapped in plain brown paper seemed out of place—no return address, no sender’s name. Curious, he opened it carefully and found inside—a note that read: ‘Dear UPS Store, please deliver happiness wherever you go!’ And attached was a bag of freshly baked cookies.’ From then on, every now and then, an anonymous neighbor would leave little surprises for everyone who worked there.

3. In the middle of the day, while the shelves in The UPS Store were neatly organized, a curious package caught the eye of a delivery driver. It looked ordinary enough—just another box—but its return address read ‘To Whom It May Concern,’ with no sender's name. As he opened it carefully, expecting something important or valuable, out fell a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this to my friend John.' Inside was a small toy car and a smiley face drawn on a piece of paper. Turns out, little Johnny had accidentally sent his favorite toy from across town to himself.

4. In the middle of the day, while the shelves in The UPS Store were neatly organized, a delivery driver found an unexpected surprise: a small, perfectly wrapped package addressed to ‘The Busiest Person.’ Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to keep it for himself. He opened it with trepidation, only to find inside a note reading: 'Dear Busy One, sorry I missed you today—here’s some free time!' Turns out, it was just a practical joke from one of the neighbors who worked late hours.
