About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn morning when the regulars noticed something peculiar outside The UPS Store. A delivery driver kept stopping mid-routine, staring up at the old clock tower across the street. Finally, one of the regulars waved and called out: ‘Hey, delivery guy! Your mirror’s clean!’ The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, while everyone else went back inside, muttering about strange neighbors.

2. A regular walked in one afternoon and exclaimed, ‘Hey, did you notice that every time I come here, my package mysteriously arrives just five minutes later?’ The manager smiled knowingly. 'Ah,' he said, 'that's because your package never left our store. It's right here on the counter.' The regular blinked, then laughed sheepishly as a delivery driver appeared from behind the counter with his package. 'Sorry for the confusion,' grinned the manager. 'We do everything we can to make sure our customers get their packages—even if it means keeping them company while they wait!'

3. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one morning, only to discover a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no address or return label. Curious eyes watched from inside as he tried to decipher its origins. Finally, someone from the store took pity on him and suggested checking the ‘to’ side of the envelope. Written in childish scrawl was: 'To my new toy!' Turned out it was just an overzealous kid sending his birthday present early. A relieved delivery driver shook his head and muttered, ‘Next time, buddy, use a stamp.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one morning, only to discover a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper with no return address or label. The delivery driver opened it carefully and found inside a note: ‘Dear Sir/Madam, please deliver this package to whomever needs it most.’ There was nothing else but an old pair of socks and a smiley face drawn on them. Everyone had a good laugh that day, including the neighbor who came by to pick up his package.
