The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on outside The UPS Store, a regular would often stop by after work. He’d grab an envelope from his briefcase and head straight for the counter. But one evening, he started asking the staff to stamp not just any letter—he wanted them to use their hands, like old-timey mailmen. Finally, one day, the manager asked curiously, ‘Why do you want us to handle your letters like that?’ The regular smiled and replied, ‘It’s my little tribute to the good ol’ days.’ As they finished stamping, everyone burst out laughing—even the usually gruff delivery driver cracked a smile. The UPS Store became known as the place where time stood still for just one moment.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the loading bay of The UPS Store. Among boxes and packages, there lay an old, dusty violin case. He opened it curiously and found inside not a priceless Stradivarius but an old, slightly out-of-tune fiddle with a handwritten note: ‘For someone who knows how to appreciate music.’ Turns out, one of the neighbors had lost it years ago during a move. A happy ending for everyone—except maybe the delivery driver’s ears.

3. At dawn, while the rest of the neighborhood slept, a delivery driver noticed an unusual sign taped to the door of The UPS Store: ‘Today is your lucky day—come in for a free package!’ Curious neighbors started dropping by, each expecting their own surprise gift. By midday, the store was filled with smiling faces and boxes everywhere. Turned out it was just a prank from a mischievous delivery driver who loved seeing people happy.

4. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon, a little girl approached The UPS Store with her dog. As she entered, her pooch suddenly perked up and started sniffing frantically around the mailboxes. ‘What’s that, boy?’ she whispered, but neither she nor anyone inside could figure out what had caught their canine friend’s attention. All eyes turned towards the excited dog, until someone noticed an envelope sticking out from one of the mail slots. It was addressed to no one in particular, just a random house number on the other side of town. With a shrug, one of the employees picked it up and called out, 'Hey, everyone! We got a mystery package!' And so began the funniest game of 'find the owner' ever seen at The UPS Store.
