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 something odd: every time he approached The UPS Store, his dog started barking furiously at an empty corner of the parking lot. No matter how many times they visited, the dog would always react the same way. Finally, curious neighbors joined in and discovered that behind the corner was just an old cardboard box with some mysterious wires sticking out. Turned out it was an abandoned security camera from another business, and everyone had a good laugh over the canine conspiracy theory. The regular even bought a new toy for his dog as thanks for keeping him company during those long waits.

2. While dropping off some documents one afternoon, a regular noticed an unusual scent wafting from inside The UPS Store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a delivery driver humming along with an old cassette tape playing on the counter. Upon closer inspection, our curious regular discovered that the cassette was from the 80s, filled with cheesy love ballads. The driver, clearly enchanted, had his eyes closed, swaying gently while humming along. As they parted ways, the neighbor joked, ‘Maybe next time you’ll find him dancing to the classics!’

3. While picking up a package one day, a regular glanced down and saw something peculiar—a small, dusty jar labeled ‘Liquid Luck.’ Curious, he opened it just as another customer walked in. As soon as he did, a friendly delivery driver walked over and said, 'Hey, that’s not liquid luck—it’s our secret ingredient for making coffee!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had with a good-natured prank.

4. While dropping off some documents one morning, a regular noticed that the usually cheerful voice on the intercom had suddenly become very serious—so much so that it sounded like someone reading from a dictionary. Curious, our regular approached the counter and asked what was going on. The clerk calmly replied, ‘It’s just Mr. Smith from accounting—he always sounds like he’s reading the phone book when he talks.’ Everyone laughed, including Mr. Smith himself, who waved good-naturedly from behind his glasses.
