About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman arrived early at The UPS Store with a large box under his arm. As he approached the counter, the delivery driver noticed something peculiar—every time the old man spoke, his voice seemed to come from inside the box. Curious, the delivery driver asked if everything was alright. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Oh yes, I’m just talking to my grandson who’s helping me ship some special packages.’ The driver smiled and shook his head, thinking it was one of those charmingly eccentric moments that made life interesting.

2. A customer asked the staff at The UPS Store one day: ‘Do you ever get packages addressed to “Undeliverable as Addressed”?’ One of the employees leaned over and whispered with a smile, 'Actually, we get them all the time!' A regular then chimed in, 'And guess what? They always end up getting delivered—just not where they were supposed to.' Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes life is like those mysterious packages: it finds its way even when nobody knows exactly how.

3. A little boy walked into The UPS Store one afternoon, puzzled and pointing at something on the counter. 'Mom,' he whispered, 'what's that big box doing here all by itself?' His mom smiled gently, bending down to his level. ‘That’s a special package, honey,’ she said softly. ‘It’s for someone who needs it very much.’ The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again with curiosity. ‘But Mom,’ he asked quietly, ‘why does it look so sad?’ And just then, an old delivery driver passing by overheard him. With a warm smile, he replied, “Oh, don’t worry, son. That package is just waiting for its happy ending.”

4. A small dog burst through the doors of The UPS Store one afternoon, barking frantically as if in pursuit of something invisible. Inside, everyone froze for a moment, then erupted into laughter when they saw it was just a tiny terrier chasing its own tail. A delivery driver offered some water, and soon enough, the little guy calmed down and trotted out with his owner, who apologized profusely but seemed more amused than embarrassed. 'No harm done,' said an understanding clerk, winking at the relieved neighbor.
