The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages, he noticed something odd: every time he placed an envelope addressed to ‘Santa Claus’ into a box labeled ‘Christmas Cards,’ a small dog outside would perk up and bark excitedly. No one else seemed to notice. Finally, one evening, a regular customer asked if she could adopt the little dog that always greeted her when she came in. The delivery driver smiled and said, 'Sure thing—just sign here for your new pet!'

2. A regular customer arrived early one morning, only to discover an unusual package on the counter. It was addressed to no one in particular and contained nothing but tiny handwritten notes saying ‘deliver me’. Confused and intrigued, the staff opened the envelope carefully. Inside were more notes: 'Please deliver me to the nicest person here.' Turns out it was a prank from a friendly neighbor who just wanted everyone to smile that day. The store ended up delivering happiness instead of packages.

3. While dropping off some documents at The UPS Store, a regular customer overheard the manager whispering into her phone: ‘Today’s special delivery is… a unicorn?’ Curious, our regular approached and heard the manager continue: ‘It’s a surprise for Mr. Johnson—can you believe it? A real-life unicorn!’ Turns out, it was just a new package design for their annual charity event. Everyone had a good laugh, including the delivery driver who thought he’d been assigned an unusual task.

4. One day, after school, a little girl entered The UPS Store and asked if she could weigh her backpack. As the clerk reached for the scale, she exclaimed, 'It feels like there's a whole other backpack inside!' Curious, the clerk picked up the bag and felt around. Suddenly, an old teddy bear fell out, followed by a pile of forgotten homework, crumpled notes, and even a half-eaten sandwich from lunch. Turns out, the girl had been carrying two bags all along—one full of books, and another invisible load of worries. The kind delivery driver helped her carry everything home, and they all shared a laugh over how much easier life seemed without that extra weight.
