The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular dropped in one morning with an unusual package. As he signed for it, he noticed something odd—next to the counter lay a small, dusty box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a note: ‘Take care of this until I return.’ He opened the note but could make out only vague words. Figuring it was someone’s lost item, he placed it on the counter and went about his day. Later that afternoon, as he was closing up, a delivery driver arrived with another identical package. The regular grinned: 'Guess you missed me!'

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store and noticed something odd—a strange humming sound coming from inside. He opened the door cautiously, expecting anything but found nothing more than an old fan whirring loudly. Curious, he turned off the fan, only for the humming to continue—this time it seemed to come from behind the counter. Peering around, he saw an elderly gentleman diligently working on his crossword puzzle. ‘Oh,’ said the man with a smile, noticing the intruder. ‘That’s my secret weapon against Alzheimer’s.’

3. In the dead of night, a neighbor knocked on the door of The UPS Store, whispering something urgent. A delivery driver, sleepily rubbing eyes, opened the door and heard a hushed voice say, ‘Quickly, they’re delivering a package that’s not supposed to be delivered!’ Turns out it was just a neighbor who accidentally ordered too many cookies online. The end.

4. In the middle of the day, a small child burst into The UPS Store, pointing excitedly at a large box marked ‘Fragile.’ When asked what it was, she replied, ‘It’s a dinosaur egg!’ A delivery driver happened to be there and laughed, saying he’d just delivered that exact box. Turned out it was an elaborate prank from his kids. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they saw the tiny note inside reading: 'Dear Santa, please deliver this fragile package safely.'
