The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a regular noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store. It grew louder each evening until one day, everyone in the neighborhood started talking about it. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a huge box labeled ‘Top Secret’. Everyone watched curiously as he opened it—inside was just a noisy fan. Turns out, someone had accidentally ordered a loud cooling unit instead of a quiet one for their home office. The whole neighborhood got a good laugh out of it.

2. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does The UPS Store smell like fresh-baked cookies every Tuesday?’ It turned out that a regular customer, Mrs. Jenkins, baked batches of her famous oatmeal raisin cookies on Mondays and brought them in for the staff to enjoy on Tuesdays. Word spread among drivers, who started calling it ‘Cookie Tuesday’—a day when even packages got a sweet surprise.

3. One day, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why is The UPS Store always so quiet in the afternoon?’ Finally, an old neighbor chimed in with a twinkle in his eye, ‘They’re not really open during the day. They use those hours for secret meetings where they plan how to deliver packages without us ever noticing!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another urban legend.

4. At dawn, while most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed something peculiar. The air around the place seemed to shimmer with an eerie glow. Curious, he peered inside through the window and saw only empty shelves and sleeping employees. Suddenly, a regular customer walked in, yawning and stretching, completely oblivious to the early-morning mystery. ‘Morning,’ said the man cheerfully. ‘Anything interesting happen here last night?’
