FedEx Office

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little girl walked into FedEx one morning, her eyes wide with wonder as she watched an envelope disappear into a machine that spit out a tiny receipt. Ever since then, every time someone dropped off a package, they swore they heard a faint ‘thank you’ from within the walls. One day, an elderly neighbor dropped off his important documents. As he left, he overheard the familiar whisper: 'Thank you for your patience.' Curious, he returned later and asked the staff if anyone had said anything. They just smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh no, sir, our machines are strictly silent!' The old man shrugged and chuckled, knowing better.

2. At dawn, when most FedEx offices are quiet and empty, an old man began arriving with a small box under his arm. He’d enter, place it carefully on the counter, then leave without saying a word. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked curiously, ‘What’s in that box?’ The old man just smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Just some secret documents for the government.’ Months later, everyone forgot about it—until one morning when a FedEx employee found a tiny package addressed to ‘The Old Man’ containing nothing but a note: “Thanks for the coffee breaks.”

3. In the early hours of every Thursday morning, a soft humming could be heard coming from inside the FedEx office. It grew louder each week, until finally, curious neighbors peeked through the windows. Inside they found nothing but an old printer left on overnight. Turns out, it was just printing out endless copies of ‘Happy Thursday!’ posters for some unknown reason. The neighborhood now gathers there every Thursday evening to drink coffee and admire the colorful prints, calling themselves the ‘Thursday Poster Club’.

4. While waiting for his package one day, a regular noticed something odd on the wall. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, pointing at a small poster that had been there forever, ‘I bet that’s not the real address.’ A delivery driver overheard him and laughed, saying, 'That’s our secret headquarters!' The regular shook his head, smiling. That afternoon, as he left, he noticed another customer reading the same poster and whispering, 'I wonder if they deliver espresso?'
