The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store. It grew louder each day until it became almost like a hummingbird’s song, only mechanical. Finally, one curious customer asked if they could investigate. Inside, they found nothing but a small drone delivering packages autonomously, causing the mysterious hum. Everyone laughed, and soon it became known as ‘the store with the talking drone.’

2. A little boy walked into The UPS Store one afternoon and pointed excitedly at something on the wall. ‘Mommy,’ he said, ‘what’s that big red thing doing there?’ His mom looked up and saw nothing but a standard shipping label printer. ‘It’s a fire truck, honey!’ his mom replied calmly. But just then, an older gentleman walked in with a package. He glanced at the printer and exclaimed, “Hey, that looks like it could use some fixing!” And so began another day at The UPS Store—where even fire trucks turn out to be just printers.

3. One day during lunch hour, a voice came over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Attention all package handlers—your packages are plotting against you!’ Everyone froze for a moment, then one brave handler whispered back, ‘Hey, packages, we deliver your boxes too!’ Soon, everyone was laughing so hard they forgot to check any packages. A delivery driver even stopped by later that week with a cake for ‘Package Plotters Anonymous.’

4. One day during lunch hour, a voice came over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Attention everyone—we’ve just received a package from outer space. Delivery expected any minute now.’ Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. A delivery driver walked in and said, 'Just another day at The UPS Store.' Later that afternoon, an excited neighbor popped in with a box labeled 'Alien Communication Device'. Turned out it was just a new printer.
