The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, 'This package is heavier than it looks!' And ever since then, customers swear they can hear strange thumps and rustles coming from inside the store after closing hours. One night, a regular customer heard something unusual too—a tiny voice whispering, ‘I’m just a letter, not a bomb!’ Turns out, an envelope had fallen asleep during its shift. Since then, everyone brings their pets in for a goodnight story before leaving the store.

2. At night, while closing up, an employee noticed a strange humming sound coming from the back room. Curious, she peered inside and found nothing out of place—until she saw the neon sign above the counter glowing softly on its own. Curious, she flipped the switch—but instead of turning off, the light grew brighter. Startled, she called out, ‘Who’s here?’ A voice replied from behind her, ‘Just your friendly neighborhood mailman!’ Turns out, it was only a delivery driver playing a prank after hours.

3. At The UPS Store one afternoon, a customer asked with a smile, ‘Do you guys deliver happiness?’ And ever since then, employees claim they’ve seen tiny packages marked simply as “Joy” being delivered around town. One day, an elderly neighbor popped in and asked if he could send a package labeled ‘Peace.’ A few days later, everyone started receiving cards signed anonymously, saying, ‘We received your Peace—thank you!’ It turned out that the delivery driver had taken it upon himself to add some cheer to the neighborhood.

4. At The UPS Store one day, a small dog bounded in through the open door, its tail wagging furiously. Employees looked on curiously as it raced around counters and packages, stopping suddenly to sniff a large box marked ‘Top Secret Government Project.’ Suddenly, an alarm went off, startling everyone but not the little dog. It yipped once and then calmly sat down next to the box. A delivery driver walked in, saw the commotion, and asked, 'What’s going on here?' An employee replied, ‘Who knows? Maybe he’s our new canine security guard.’
