About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store's empty offices. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tiny light blinking on a desk. Inside was a sleepy-looking robot mailman dozing off after his shift. Startled, the driver knocked gently on the door. ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘you left your uniform on.’ The robot yawned, stretched, and replied, ‘Oh, thanks for reminding me!’

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, an old printer in The UPS Store started printing letters no one had sent. Softly, almost whispering, they appeared on plain white paper—words like ‘Happy Birthday’ or ‘Thank You.’ One day, a delivery driver noticed these notes and decided to check them against recent deliveries. Turned out, every note was addressed to someone who’d recently helped him with something small—a neighbor who lent him tools, a colleague who fixed his coffee machine. It emerged that the printer was just thanking everyone for their kindness. Everyone got a good laugh, and from then on, whenever someone needed help around town, they’d say, 'Ask the guy from The UPS Store, he’s got connections!'

3. At dawn, while the neighborhood was still asleep, someone noticed strange whispers coming from inside 'The UPS Store'. A curious mailman approached the window and saw a shadowy figure moving boxes around. Was it just an overactive imagination or did something unusual indeed happen there? Suddenly, the shadowy figure turned towards the door, revealing itself as a delivery driver humming an old tune. He apologized for waking anyone up, explaining that he’d been organizing packages for an upcoming holiday rush. The mailman chuckled and shook his head, muttering under his breath, ‘Another regular early bird.’

4. One day, among stacks of envelopes and boxes, a curious package caught a regular’s eye. It wasn’t addressed to anyone, but bore the unmistakable logo of The UPS Store. A delivery driver picked it up and asked if anyone claimed it. No one did, so they opened it curiously. Inside was a note: 'Found in The UPS Store—please return to sender.' A regular laughed and said, ‘Guess who our new mascot is now?’
