About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked his colleague at The UPS Store: ‘Have you ever noticed how packages always seem to arrive exactly when we’re on our coffee break?’ His colleague shrugged and smiled: ‘Maybe it’s because we take the best breaks in the company!’ Just then, their manager popped in with a package for them both—right on cue.

2. In the early hours of every Monday morning, an anonymous voice crackles over The UPS Store’s intercom: 'Attention all employees—today is recycling day!' One employee, fed up with the prank, finally confronts the voice one Monday morning. ‘Recycling day,’ he mutters, only to hear a deep baritone reply from behind him: ‘And don’t you forget it, sonny!’ Turns out, it was just an older delivery driver having some fun. Everyone laughs and goes back to work, knowing that sometimes even the most mysterious things can turn out to be harmless.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck outside The UPS Store and noticed something odd on the loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. He picked it up curiously, but before he could open it, another package fell from the sky onto the roof of the store. Curious, the driver placed both packages inside, then heard a soft thud from above. Moments later, an old teddy bear wearing a red hat plopped down through the ceiling, followed by a note reading: ‘Sorry for the mess—hope you like surprises!’ Turning around, they saw their neighbor grinning sheepishly from across the street.

4. A delivery driver parked his truck outside The UPS Store one rainy night and noticed something odd. Through the window, he saw a familiar face stuffing envelopes into boxes with surprising speed—and no one else around. Curious, the driver knocked on the door. Inside was an old man in a plaid shirt, humming softly to himself. ‘Just helping out a friend,’ he explained, waving a stack of letters. Turns out, it was just an annual neighborhood letter drive.’
