About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find an old-fashioned typewriter inside, complete with a note reading: 'For someone who needs inspiration.' Intrigued, he took the typewriter home and soon discovered that every time he typed something funny or heartfelt, his neighbors would receive handwritten notes in their mailboxes. Before long, The UPS Store became famous for its daily inspirational messages. A regular customer quipped, ‘I thought I was just dropping off some packages here!’
2. One day, while mailing her package, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever wonder why every box that comes in here is always exactly the same size?’ The clerk shrugged and smiled. ‘Well,’ she said, ‘maybe they’re all made by the same secretive factory somewhere.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Or maybe it’s just their way of keeping us all on the same page!’ Everyone laughed, realizing how absurd yet comforting these little mysteries could be.
3. One afternoon, as an employee was stocking shelves in The UPS Store, she stumbled upon an old, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, she opened it and found dozens of tiny packages—each containing a single almond cookie. Since then, customers have occasionally received these mysterious cookies with their orders. One day, a delivery driver named John picked up one of the cookies out of curiosity. To his surprise, he discovered that each bite made him hum a little tune. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about the singing cookies from The UPS Store.
4. In the early hours of dawn, when most people were asleep and the city slept soundly, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store. As he approached the front door, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—an eerie yet familiar tune that seemed to be playing over and over again. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—and was greeted by an old man in a plaid shirt, humming away as he sorted packages. Turns out it was his favorite song from high school. They ended up chatting for a while, and before leaving, the delivery driver asked if he could borrow some tape. Moral of the story? Sometimes even a busy day starts with a little serenade.
