About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Monday morning at The UPS Store when a regular arrived early with his usual package. As he approached the counter, the air conditioning suddenly started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on loop. ‘Surprise!’” yelled the clerk, jumping out from behind the counter. “We thought it’d be fun to wish you happy birthday every time you come in!” Turned out the store had been planning this for months—everyone knew the guy’s birthday was coming up but never dared ask him. The regular laughed and shook his head, smiling warmly. 'You guys are something else,' he said, picking up his package.}

2. A regular stopped by one afternoon with a package so heavy he struggled to carry it inside. ‘Do you guys have scales here?’ he asked. Nobody knew for sure. Finally, someone suggested checking the boxes on the wall—turns out they were postal scales. The man weighed his package and found it was just under the maximum limit. As he left, everyone laughed when he said, ‘Guess I’ll never know how much that thing really weighs!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one rainy day, umbrella in hand and packages under arm. As he unlocked the door, he noticed something odd—an envelope addressed simply to ‘The Next Person Who Opens This’. Curious, he opened it, finding only a note that read: 'Please deliver these packages to yourself.' A regular passing by chuckled, saying, 'Welcome to The UPS Store!'

4. At The UPS Store, a regular customer once asked the clerk, ‘Do you guys weigh packages here?’ The clerk replied, ‘Not usually, but I can give it a try.’ So the clerk picked up a package and said, ‘Hold on a sec.’ After a few seconds of fiddling with some scales he announced, ‘It’s exactly 4 pounds, 11 ounces—just like your last one!’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the customer who exclaimed, ‘That’s impossible! My scale at home says something different every time.’ The clerk shrugged and grinned, ‘Welcome to The UPS Store, where every package is a mystery!’
