The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn one morning, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with an unusual package. As he unloaded it, a regular passing by noticed something odd—an old, dusty suitcase wrapped in brown paper. Curious, the regular approached closer and saw that the suitcase was filled with old newspapers and magazines. Turned out, the delivery driver had accidentally picked up his neighbor’s time capsule instead of a regular package. With a laugh, they swapped contents, and ever since then, whenever someone needed stamps or envelopes, everyone would joke about ‘the time capsule incident.’

2. Late one night, while the neighborhood slept soundly, a strange humming noise echoed through the streets near The UPS Store. A curious neighbor peered out their window and saw a shadowy figure moving boxes around inside, despite the store being officially closed. Curious, the neighbor called over a regular delivery driver who happened to be passing by. Together they checked the place but found nothing unusual—just a mischievous raccoon rummaging through some packages. The next day, everyone in the area had a good laugh, and the UPS Store installed extra security.

3. At closing time, an employee locked up The UPS Store and left for home. Walking past the mailboxes, he heard someone whisper: 'Next time you're here late, bring your lunch.' Curious, he came back with a sandwich the next day. Sure enough, there was a note in his locker: ‘Thanks for the lunch! See you tomorrow.’ From then on, every evening at closing time, he’d pack himself a picnic and enjoy a quiet meal with a friendly voice joining him from the shadows.

4. At dusk, as a delivery driver prepared to leave after a long day, he noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a package on the counter, a tiny bell above it would ring with perfect timing—almost as if someone else were helping out. Finally curious, the driver asked around, and soon learned that an elderly neighbor had been secretly placing packages there for years. Turned out she was just trying to help out her busy friends—and now everyone in town knew why their deliveries always arrived so promptly!
