The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small dog would always appear outside The UPS Store's loading bay door. Every evening, without fail, it would sit there, staring intently at the closed entrance until dawn broke. One morning, as the sun rose, the delivery driver found not just one but two tiny paws sticking out from under the loading dock. Turned out the little guy was playing hide-and-seek with his friend—a squirrel! They’d been keeping him company every night, and now they were waiting for their hero to open up so they could run inside together.

2. Late one afternoon, as the last customers left The UPS Store, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Package for Mr. Johnson… please sign here.’ No Mr. Johnson worked there. A puzzled employee opened the package—it was a birthday cake with a note: 'Happy Birthday, Mr. Johnson!' Turns out, it was from a neighbor who thought he was someone else but made everyone’s day anyway.

3. In the early morning hours, before the first customer arrived, a familiar voice would occasionally echo through the empty halls of The UPS Store. "Package for you," it would say softly, followed by the sound of footsteps approaching the counter. One day, an excited delivery driver burst in, yelling, ‘Your package is here!’ but found only an empty room and a confused security guard. Turns out, he’d been responding to his own voicemail. Since then, everyone jokes that The UPS Store has its very own ghost employee.’

4. In the quiet of late afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot. Among the usual boxes and packages lay a small, dusty violin case. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside: ‘Please take care of this until my friend returns.’ Turns out, it was just another neighbor’s lost instrument. The delivery driver smiled, thinking how much fun it would be if everyone left their valuables here—maybe next time someone would drop off a guitar or two.
