The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages in The UPS Store, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from one of the mailboxes. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but a small, glowing cube that seemed to pulse with every letter delivered. Intrigued, the delivery driver took the cube home and placed it on his desk. Over time, whenever he had a slow day, the cube would whisper the names of customers' missing packages. Soon enough, word spread around town, and people started calling him 'Mr. Cube.' Eventually, though, the cube got bored and left one night, leaving behind only a note reading: "Thanks for the fun, but I’ve found my true calling—helping lost socks reunite with their pairs!"}

2. One day, a delivery driver was loading boxes into The UPS Store when he noticed something odd on the shelf: an old, dusty teddy bear wearing a tiny UPS uniform. Curious, he picked it up and found a small note sewn inside: ‘For my best delivery man.’ Turns out, it was left there by a regular who always received packages from him. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, the teddy bear became part of their daily routine.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver was unloading packages from his truck onto the dock outside The UPS Store. Among the neatly stacked boxes, he noticed something odd—a small, dusty envelope addressed simply to ‘The Manager.’ Curious, he opened it and found only an old key and a note scribbled in pencil: 'Use this key when you’re stuck.' Over the next few weeks, whenever someone forgot their combination or locked themselves out, they’d see him unlocking doors with that mysterious key—all thanks to some anonymous manager’s sense of humor.

4. One night, after closing, an employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Next package for Mr. Johnson is ready.’ Everyone knew there’s no Mr. Johnson who orders from The UPS Store. Curious, the worker checked the packages but found nothing unusual. Later that week, another voice announced, 'A package for Mrs. Smith!' Turns out, it was just an old tape recorder left by a delivery driver. Since then, whenever someone hears a voice, everyone jokes that maybe it's our very own talking UPS machine.'
