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 small dog would appear outside The UPS Store's front door. It always sat there, staring up at the closed sign with an expression that seemed to say, ‘Where’s my package?’ One day, a delivery driver arrived early in the morning. Seeing the dog still there, he decided to help out. He picked up a box from his truck, pretended to write on it, then handed it to the dog with a smile. The little guy took the box, turned around, and walked happily into the night—never to be seen again.

2. At closing time, when the last customer left The UPS Store, a little girl walked in with her mom's package. She looked around curiously, then pointed excitedly at one of the boxes on the shelf. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'what’s that?' ‘It’s a robot!’ she exclaimed, pointing at an old mail sorting machine. Her mother smiled and explained it was just an automatic sorter. As they were leaving, the night manager, Mr. Jenkins, waved goodbye. ‘See you tomorrow,’ he said, winking at the little girl who giggled and ran out the door.’

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, an old printer in the corner of The UPS Store started humming like a contented bee. Only one regular noticed it—everyone else assumed it was just another ghostly sound from the empty building. One day, a delivery driver walked in and asked what all the fuss was about. Turns out, he’d left his coffee thermos there the night before. As they laughed, the printer stopped its humming, never to start again.

4. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver was packing boxes into the back of his truck, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store. Curious, he stopped and peered inside through the window. To his surprise, he saw an old man dancing around like a madman while humming some unfamiliar tune. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic employee celebrating his birthday. The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking, ‘Another day in paradise.’
