The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when no one was around, an old man would often sit outside The UPS Store, watching as packages came and went. One day, a little girl noticed him and asked her mom, ‘Why does he always wave at the boxes?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'He waves because each package is like a letter from someone special.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a curious expression. 'Mom,' she said softly, 'does that mean he's waving at us too?' The woman laughed gently, knowing that sometimes kindness can be found in the most unexpected places.

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a mysterious voice began echoing over The UPS Store’s intercom. ‘Package for you,’ it said, in a deep but friendly tone, always just as someone was opening their locker. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and heard, ‘Package for you.’ He opened his locker to find… nothing. Confused, he asked the staff what was going on. They shrugged and smiled, saying, “It’s just our friendly ghost delivering packages!” Since then, everyone jokes that The UPS Store has its very own delivery angel.

3. Late every afternoon, just as the sun dipped below the skyline, a delivery driver would absentmindedly leave his lunch behind the counter. Soon enough, tiny packages started appearing in unexpected places—notes scribbled on brown envelopes reading, ‘Thanks for the snack!’ One day, an elderly neighbor dropped by with a basket of freshly baked cookies. She smiled and said, 'These are for everyone who leaves little surprises!' The note read: "Sorry for the cookie caper, hope you enjoy these instead!" Ever since then, everyone brought their own snacks—and cookies became the official currency of The UPS Store.

4. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets in The UPS Store after closing time? One night, a curious employee stayed late and heard a soft humming coming from inside the empty building. Curious, she followed the sound through the darkened hallways until she found an old package, glowing softly like a lantern. Turns out, it was just a special holiday light-up box sent by a neighbor. Everyone had a good laugh the next day when they saw the security footage of her dancing around with a talking package.
