About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In one corner of The UPS Store, a regular noticed something peculiar one morning. Among the usual envelopes and boxes, there sat an old, dusty violin case. No one claimed it, and no note accompanied it. Curious, the regular asked around. Eventually, a delivery driver mentioned that he’d seen an elderly gentleman frantically searching for his lost violin just yesterday. Turns out, the old man lived two streets over—an avid musician who played in the local park every Sunday. That afternoon, everyone gathered at The UPS Store as the owner proudly tuned his beloved instrument again. It was like a small town reunion, complete with free cookies.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one afternoon with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, he overheard a regular asking the staff if they’d seen any strange packages lately. ‘No,’ said one of the staff members, glancing curiously at the driver’s mysterious box. ‘But I did see something odd yesterday—a neighbor dropped off a package wrapped in so many layers it looked like a present from Santa himself.’ The delivery driver smiled and shook his head, knowing full well that sometimes the strangest deliveries come from the most unexpected places.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed something odd: a faint humming sound like bees, but coming from inside. Curious, he opened the door slightly—only to see hundreds of tiny bees buzzing around the counter. Turns out, someone had accidentally brought in a beehive instead of their package. After much laughter and a few calls later, a bee expert arrived, removed the hive, and everyone went home with a new story to tell. A regular even joked that now they knew why packages sometimes took so long.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one day, only to discover that every package he opened contained a note reading: ‘You’ve got mail—from someone who can’t afford stamps.’ Confused and amused, the driver showed the notes to his colleagues. Soon, everyone in the neighborhood was dropping off their letters at The UPS Store. It became known as the town’s unofficial community mailbox, with neighbors exchanging jokes, recipes, and even secretly delivered birthday cards. The UPS Store staff learned to expect these quirky deliveries with good humor.
