About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day in The UPS Store, a little boy walked up to the counter and asked the delivery driver, ‘Why does your truck look like it’s smiling?’ Everyone around laughed, but no one had noticed before. The delivery driver smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s because my truck has big happy wheels!’ Everyone burst out laughing again, even the little boy. From then on, whenever anyone saw him driving his truck, they’d wave and say, “Hey, Mr. Happy Wheels!”

2. In the late afternoon, as a delivery driver approached The UPS Store, he noticed an unusual scent—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the open door. Curious, he peered inside and saw an elderly gentleman busily wrapping packages while humming softly. ‘Cookies?’ asked the driver, raising his eyebrows. ‘Oh no,’ replied the man with a smile, ‘just my secret recipe for motivation—one cookie per package!’

3. In the early morning, when the streets were quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed an unusual sight. A small dog kept circling around the mailboxes, sniffing intently at each one. Curious, he opened one of the boxes and found it filled with old newspapers and empty envelopes. Turns out, the little fellow was just a neighborhood scavenger, on his daily hunt for treasure. With a smile, the delivery driver waved goodbye as the dog trotted off, tail wagging, leaving behind only a whiff of curiosity.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store. Something unusual caught his ear—a soft humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around, gently tapping packages with his cane. ‘What in the world,’ muttered the driver, but when he opened the door, the man looked up with a smile and said, “Just helping them get home safe!” And so, every midnight, the UPS Store became a place where packages met their dance partner.’
