About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Smith would often stop by The UPS Store to mail his letters. One evening, as he approached the counter with his usual package, the clerk noticed something peculiar: every time Mr. Smith entered, the lights flickered slightly. Curious, the clerk asked if everything was alright. With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Smith replied, 'Oh yes, just checking my latest invention—an ultra-sensitive light bulb detector!' Turns out, Mr. Smith was an inventor who tested prototypes at night.

2. One day, while stocking up on envelopes and labels, a regular noticed something peculiar in the return envelope bin—a tiny package wrapped in old newspaper, addressed simply to ‘The Best Customer Ever.’ Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing a handwritten note that read: 'Dear Regular, here’s your free gift for being such a loyal customer!' Inside was an ancient-looking key ring with a single rusty key.' A week later, everyone in town had their own mystery key.

3. Have you ever seen someone so focused they forgot where they were? One afternoon, a delivery driver parked outside The UPS Store with his head buried in a stack of packages. Suddenly, an old neighbor walked by and asked if everything was okay. Startled, the driver looked up and exclaimed, ‘I’m fine, just trying to figure out which package goes where!’ Turns out he’d been sorting packages for ten minutes without realizing it.

4. At closing time one Friday, a delivery driver announced over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone! If you've left any packages here overnight, please come claim them before Sunday.' A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked, ‘Excuse me, did anyone claim my package?’ The clerk replied, ‘No sir, it’s still here.’ The old man smiled and said, ‘Thank goodness! I was worried I’d missed the deadline for my secret Santa gift!’ Everyone laughed as he walked away, whistling a merry tune.
