About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in The UPS Store when a regular arrived early with his usual package. As he approached the counter, the clerk noticed something peculiar—all the clocks had stopped at exactly 8:15. Curious, the clerk asked him if everything was okay. With a puzzled expression, the man replied, 'I don't know, but my watch also stopped at 8:15.' They both laughed, and soon realized it was just one of those quirky coincidences. The regular left, shaking his head, while the clerk continued to wonder if maybe their coffee machine was cursed.

2. A small boy entered The UPS Store one afternoon, clearly agitated. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! Is that a bird?’ The clerk looked up and smiled, 'No, sonny, that's just our new ceiling fan.' The little boy nodded knowingly, then turned back to his mom with a satisfied smile. 'See, Mommy,' he said proudly, 'it's not a bird after all!'

3. One day, while printing labels at The UPS Store, a regular noticed something peculiar on the printer screen: ‘Package delivered to unicorn’s castle.’ He laughed it off, but every time he used that machine, the same message appeared. Soon enough, other customers started noticing the messages too. One day, an excited delivery driver arrived and announced, 'I just dropped off a package at Unicorn Castle!' Turns out, it was all a prank by the store manager who loved fantasy novels. Everyone had a good laugh—and now they know never to trust those magical-looking addresses.

4. It was a stormy night in the sleepy town of Maplewood, and the last thing anyone expected was for The UPS Store to become the center of attention. Inside, amidst the usual bustle of packages and envelopes, a regular customer noticed something odd. As he approached the counter, the regular saw an envelope addressed to ‘Santa Claus, North Pole.’ Curious, he asked the clerk if they had received any unusual deliveries recently. Smiling mysteriously, she replied, 'Oh yes, we've been getting quite a few letters from kids asking where Santa lives.' Turning to each other, they both burst out laughing—only to realize that it was already December 24th.
