About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, 'I just saw a package walk into the building!' Everyone turned around to look, but there was no one there. Just an empty hallway and a confused-looking delivery driver. After a moment, a neighbor walked by and said, ‘Must’ve been your imagination.’ Everyone laughed, including the now-slightly-embarrassed driver.

2. At The UPS Store one day, a delivery driver stopped mid-sentence when he noticed an excited pug frantically trying to open the door to the package room. The flustered dog kept pushing and pulling until another customer, a friendly older lady, came over and said, ‘Oh, hello there little fella! Let me help you with that.’ She opened the door just in time for the delivery driver to finish his sentence: ‘…and now I’m supposed to deliver it to your house!’

3. At The UPS Store one afternoon, an employee paused mid-task when she heard a familiar voice whispering from behind her counter: ‘Next package please…’ She turned around and saw only an old neighbor, holding a package with a smile. ‘Oh, hi!’ she said, relieved. He winked and whispered, ‘Just wanted to be sure you’re still here for my packages.’ They both laughed, and he walked away humming a tune. Turns out, his voice had been so familiar because it was the same song he always sang while dropping off mail.

4. At The UPS Store one night, a delivery driver opened the door and found a mysterious package wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every time he tried to leave, the door seemed to close on its own. Finally, after hours of trying, the delivery driver managed to open the door just enough for his colleague to see inside. ‘What’s taking so long?’ asked a curious neighbor who happened to be passing by. With a sigh, our hero replied, “I’m not sure, but I think this package is holding onto the door like an overprotective pet.”
