The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. A regular would arrive early each morning with an old briefcase, and every day he’d leave exactly at midnight—never saying a word. One day, curious about his routine, the delivery driver followed him down an alleyway. There, in the dim light, they found the man carefully placing his briefcase under a tree. As he did so, a sleepy-looking cat emerged from inside, stretched, yawned, and walked off into the night. The next morning, the regular arrived as usual, picked up his empty case, and left without a word.

2. In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, an employee of The UPS Store heard a soft humming coming from the loading bay. Curious, she peered through the window and saw a small package dancing in circles, as if guided by invisible strings. As she watched closer, the package suddenly stopped and began waving at her with a tiny little hand inside! Startled, she called out to her co-workers, who joined her laughing hysterically. Turns out it was just a delivery driver playing a prank on everyone—leaving behind a note that read: ‘Next time, check the return address!’

3. In the middle of the day, while customers were busy printing and scanning documents, someone began leaving mysterious notes in the mailboxes. Each note read: ‘Your package is ready for pickup… but only if you can solve this riddle first.’ One day, a regular customer picked up his package only after correctly guessing that the riddle meant ‘pick up’ as in ‘pick up your spirits.’ The whole place erupted into laughter when he triumphantly announced, ‘I solved it—my mood’s already lifted!’ Since then, everyone jokes that The UPS Store has secretly become a local brainteaser hub.

4. In the middle of the day, while customers were busy printing and scanning documents, someone found an unexpected visitor in one of the mailboxes: a tiny, handwritten note that read ‘UPS Man Wants His Job Back.’ Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing and started giggling. The manager took out the note and showed it around, remarking with a smile, 'Looks like our friendly neighborhood UPS man is missing his job more than we thought!'
