About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, an old man walking his dog noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. Every few minutes, a faint humming sound would drift through the air, like bees buzzing in slow motion. No one else seemed to hear it. Curious, he approached the door and peered inside. Inside the empty store, a sleepy delivery driver was humming softly to himself while sorting packages. ‘That’s odd,’ thought the man, smiling. Turns out, every night it was just another employee singing along to their favorite tune.’

2. At dawn, when most people were still sleeping, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed something strange. Every morning, right before he opened the door, a soft humming sound would start, like someone whistling from inside. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old man in a fedora, humming cheerfully as he sorted packages. Turns out, it was just a retired neighbor who dropped by every morning for his daily package-sorting ritual. After that, the only thing heard each day was the gentle chatter of packages being neatly arranged.

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left, a voice crackled over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘If you’re not here tomorrow, we’ll know why.’ Next morning, the owner arrived early and found a note on his desk: 'You missed your package pickup yesterday.' He laughed it off until he noticed the intercom was still blinking. When pressed, it played a message saying, “Hey boss, don’t forget to sign for that FedEx box!”

4. At dusk, when the neon sign above blinked on, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and found the door ajar. Curious, he stepped inside and saw an old man bent over a counter, sorting packages with meticulous care. ‘I must’ve left it open,’ the man said without looking up. Turning around, he revealed a familiar face—an elderly neighbor who often dropped off his mail here. ‘Just wanted to make sure everything’s in order before closing,’ he added with a smile. The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly as he exited, thinking, ‘Another day, another mystery solved.’
