The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he parked his truck outside The UPS Store. ‘Why does it always rain on Mondays?’ He glanced up and noticed an umbrella floating gently through the air towards him. The umbrella landed right in front of him with a little plop. Startled, he bent down to pick it up—and found a note attached: 'For your Monday blues.' As he unfolded it, another message read, 'And don't worry, packages never get lost here!' A smile spread across his face. From then on, whenever it rained, people would see a familiar figure walking into The UPS Store, holding an umbrella that seemed to appear out of nowhere.

2. A customer asked the clerk one day, ‘Do you ever wonder why every package here is always exactly on time?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Actually, sir, our packages are never late because they ride in a special invisible bicycle courier team.’ A delivery driver overheard him and laughed, saying, ‘That’s nothing—my truck has secret GPS that tracks Santa Claus himself!’ The whole place burst into laughter, making it clear that sometimes the best answers come from imaginations running wild.

3. In the quiet corner of The UPS Store, a regular noticed something peculiar one afternoon. While waiting for his package, he glanced down and saw an old, dusty hat sitting on the counter. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly found himself transported back to the 1950s. He tried to put the hat back but it wouldn’t budge—so he decided to keep it as a souvenir from his visit to the past. When he finally returned to the present, everyone in line laughed when he started humming old songs and waving goodbye to his neighbors from fifty years ago. The regular became quite popular among staff and customers after that, known not only for his packages but also for occasionally breaking into song.

4. In the dimly lit hallway of The UPS Store, a delivery driver paused mid-stride when he spotted an envelope addressed not to any known recipient. Curious, he picked it up—it felt unusually heavy. He opened it carefully, expecting important documents or money—what else could explain such weight? Instead, there was just a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Please deliver this package to Mr. Happy Face.’ Below were two crude stick figures smiling broadly. With a laugh, the driver realized that someone had accidentally mailed their own drawing. He decided to keep the artwork as a reminder never to judge a package by its weight.
