The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his package, a regular noticed an unusual item in the store’s parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside. There, among envelopes and packages, he found more mysterious boxes, each containing strange trinkets and notes left anonymously. Finally, after weeks of puzzling over the boxes, the mystery was solved when a delivery driver mentioned that they often received funny little gifts from their colleagues as pranks. Everyone had a good laugh—especially when they realized that one particularly colorful note read, ‘Happy Holidays from your friendly neighborhood mailman!’

2. In the dead of night, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, he heard a faint humming coming from inside—was it just the air conditioning or something more peculiar? Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dozing off in a chair, his head gently bobbing to the rhythm of the hum. With a smile, the driver knocked softly on the glass. ‘Sir,’ he said, “you might want to check your watch—it’s almost closing time.” Inside, the old man jerked awake, rubbed his eyes, and sheepishly apologized for falling asleep. 'Guess I was waiting for someone,' he chuckled, as they both shared a hearty laugh.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and was greeted by a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door—and found hundreds of tiny robots sorting packages with eerie precision. Confused, the driver watched as one little robot approached him and chirped something incomprehensible. Smiling, another neighbor walked in, casually picking up a package and saying, ‘Oh, these guys are always here—must be their morning routine.’

4. At dusk, a small dog raced into The UPS Store, frantically sniffing around boxes piled high on the counter. The clerk looked puzzled but smiled, wondering if maybe it had lost its way home. Just then, an elderly delivery driver walked in and asked for some tape. Seeing the commotion, he chuckled and said, ‘That’s our neighborhood stray—always pops up here when it’s almost closing time.’ With that, everyone laughed, and the little dog trotted out with a piece of discarded packing tape tied to its collar, clearly marked with the words “UPS Official Lost Pet.”
