The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot of The UPS Store. Among the usual boxes and packages, there sat an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing not a priceless instrument but an old, scratched-up record of ‘Yakety Sax’. Alarmed neighbors soon gathered, thinking it was some kind of prank, until they realized it was just another day at The UPS Store—where anything could arrive, even vintage soundtracks.

2. One day, while waiting for his package, a regular asked aloud: ‘Why does it always take longer to get a box here than to deliver the moon to China?’ A delivery driver overheard and smiled, replying, 'Well, sir, our boxes are made in America, but the moon is imported.' Soon after, a neighbor popped in and quipped, 'Maybe next time you should send the moon through FedEx!' The regular laughed heartily, realizing that sometimes patience is just part of the local charm.

3. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, employees started noticing strange whispers coming from the storage room. Nobody could explain where they were coming from or what they meant. One day, a new intern accidentally left her phone in the storage room. The next morning, she found it playing a recording of someone saying, 'Where’s my package?' over and over again. Turns out, it was just an old customer asking about his delivery.

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he overheard a regular asking curiously: 'Who sends packages addressed simply as “Someone Who Needs This”?' With a sly smile, the delivery driver leaned in and whispered, ‘That’s because it was from someone who doesn’t know your address!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing how absurd yet charming such a gesture could be. From then on, whenever there was a mysterious package, people would joke that their neighbor had finally found a way to send them secret care packages.’
