The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in The UPS Store when a regular arrived early with his usual package. As he signed in, the receptionist noticed something peculiar: the clock on the wall seemed to be moving backwards. Curious, she looked away and back again—sure enough, the second hand had skipped backward. ‘Morning,’ she said calmly. ‘Did you set your watch back?’ ‘No,’ replied the customer, checking his own timepiece. ‘But maybe I should!’

2. A package arrived one day with no return address or recipient’s name. Inside was a single note: ‘Found this on your doorstep.’ Curious customers and staff began checking their homes, only to discover nothing had been delivered there. Soon enough, someone noticed that the note had been written in childish handwriting. Turned out, it was just a neighborhood kid playing pranks—leaving mysterious notes everywhere, claiming they were deliveries from The UPS Store. After a few days of everyone scrambling around, the whole town ended up laughing over coffee together, comparing stories and sharing photos online. It became a fun local legend, reminding everyone how small towns can be when you least expect it.

3. A regular stopped by The UPS Store one afternoon, checking his email on the free Wi-Fi. Suddenly, every computer screen lit up with the same message: ‘Your package is here!’ Confused and excited, he rushed outside only to see a neighbor holding a small box labeled with his name. Turns out, it was just a birthday gift from someone down the street—sent via UPS as a prank. Everyone had a good laugh, especially when they realized that free Wi-Fi can sometimes be too good to be true.

4. One day, a regular walked into The UPS Store and asked curiously, ‘Do you ever get packages addressed simply as “Someone Who Deserves a Surprise”?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously, replying, 'Oh yes, it happens every now and then.' A few days later, our regular received an envelope with those exact words on it. Inside was a handwritten note saying, "You looked like someone who deserved a surprise." And a small package containing a tin of his favorite cookies.
