About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an odd message scrawled on the wall in the restroom of The UPS Store: ‘Your package is ready for pickup… but only if you can solve this riddle.’ Curious customers started showing up with pencils and notepads, trying to decipher the cryptic clues. Finally, after hours of headscratching, one regular solved it: 'Take the first letter from each line.' When he did, it spelled out: "Pick up your package at the counter." Everyone laughed, realizing it was just a prank. From then on, whenever someone entered the restroom, they’d find a new riddle—all harmless fun.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store and noticed something strange: a soft humming sound coming from inside, like someone was playing a distant piano tune. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a tweed jacket, gently tapping away on an antique piano. ‘I must be hearing things,’ thought the driver. But as he approached the door, it slowly opened, revealing a sign that read “Last Night Piano Lessons.” Turning to his colleague, he grinned, ‘Guess I’ll just leave him to it then.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store and noticed a sign taped to the door: ‘UPS Now Closed for Secret Package Delivery.’ Curious, he opened it and found himself staring at a small package addressed to ‘Santa Claus, North Pole.’ Smiling, he decided to help out and delivered it early next morning. For weeks afterward, whenever anything needed special handling, neighbors would whisper, ‘Better leave it at The UPS Store—Santa might pick it up there!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store and noticed a sign taped to the door: ‘UPS IS ON STRIKE! ALL DELIVERIES POSTPONED INDEFINITELY.’ He shook his head, got out of the truck, and muttered, ‘Now what am I supposed to do with all these packages?’ Just then, a regular walked in, glanced at the sign, and shrugged. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘maybe it’s time for us to take a break too.’ They both laughed, shared some coffee, and decided to close early that day. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking maybe strikes weren’t so bad after all.
