About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages inside The UPS Store, he heard an odd humming noise coming from one of the cubicles. Curious, he approached and found an old man diligently tap-dancing on the spot, rhythmically tapping out ‘Happy Birthday’ with his shoes. As the driver watched in amazement, the old man suddenly stopped, looked up, and said with a twinkle in his eye, 'Gotta love these old shoes!' Turned out it was just a neighbor who came in every week for package pickup, and now they’re best friends who always share stories over coffee.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an elderly gentleman arrived at The UPS Store with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. He asked the staff not to open it until exactly 9 AM. When they did, everyone burst out laughing—it was just his weekly collection of funny cat memes. Turns out, he was the neighborhood prankster who loved making everyone smile.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a small dog darted into The UPS Store through an open door. The night clerk, startled but amused, watched as the little pooch began diligently sorting packages, barking commands that only he could understand. Suddenly, another employee noticed the commotion and joined in, pretending to be a package too heavy for the tiny helper. Together they pretended to sort boxes until closing time, with the night clerk laughing so hard his coffee spilled. When everything quietened down, the little dog trotted out just as mysteriously as it came, leaving behind only a few confused packages and a note scribbled on brown paper: ‘Thanks for understanding!’

4. At nightfall, when the city quietened down, a voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Hey, did you know that every Tuesday at exactly 9:17 PM, a package mysteriously appears here?’ Curious customers started asking around, and soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it. One Tuesday, an old delivery driver joked, 'Maybe it's my lunchbox!' Turns out, it was just a prank by the owner's cat, who loved playing with envelopes.
