About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered The UPS Store to drop off some documents. As he approached the counter, he noticed something unusual on one of the shelves—a small, handwritten sign reading ‘Free Stamps for Good Deeds.’ Curious, he asked the clerk if it were true. ‘Absolutely!’ replied the clerk with a twinkle in his eye. ‘But there’s a catch—you’ve gotta do a good deed first and get someone else to vouch for you.’ The old man smiled, nodded knowingly, and walked out. Later that day, as he was helping a struggling delivery driver carry boxes into his truck, he remembered the sign and casually mentioned, “Hey, I heard they give free stamps here…”

2. One morning, as a delivery driver was dropping off packages, he noticed a strange note taped to the door of The UPS Store: ‘Today is not your day for deliveries.’ Curious, he opened the door and found no one inside—just a stack of boxes labeled with every address in town. Confused but intrigued, the delivery driver picked up a random box and started reading the label aloud: 'To Mr. Johnson, 123 Main St.' A nearby neighbor overheard him and shouted, 'That's mine!' They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just an elaborate prank. From then on, whenever someone needed something delivered to The UPS Store, they knew exactly where to find it.

3. At closing time, a small dog darted into The UPS Store, sniffing curiously around boxes and packages. Employees watched in amusement until they saw him pause, staring intently at something on the counter. Finally, one employee approached cautiously. ‘Hey little guy,’ she said softly, ‘what’s got your tail wagging?’ The dog wagged it even harder as he trotted over to a package with a familiar scent. Turns out, he was just waiting for his owner’s delivery—a treat from home. Everyone laughed, and the dog left happily, tail still wagging.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a curious squirrel scurried into The UPS Store, seemingly drawn by the scent of freshly printed envelopes. Inside, it found a stack of unsealed boxes and began frantically collecting tape from the counter. Startled employees watched as the squirrel expertly wrapped itself in packages, creating a tiny postal worker costume. With a final bow, it scampered out, leaving behind only laughter and a pile of half-taped boxes. Ever since then, locals joke that The UPS Store has its very own mascot—one with an impressive sense of style.
