About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a little girl waited for her dad's package, she noticed something strange happening in The UPS Store window. Every time a delivery driver left, a small brown dog would appear from nowhere and run after him, barking excitedly. Finally, one day, the little girl recognized the delivery driver’s truck and ran outside, waving her arms. ‘Wait!’ she called out. To everyone’s surprise, the dog leaped into the open cargo door, where he promptly fell asleep on a pile of boxes. The driver shook his head and smiled, saying, “Guess he thought it was another adventure!”

2. In the early afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered The UPS Store with a stack of envelopes. As he approached the counter, he overheard the clerk saying, 'This is the strangest letter we've received today.' Curious, the old man leaned closer and heard the envelope was addressed to ‘Santa Claus, North Pole.’ He laughed softly and asked if it had a return address. The clerk shook her head. Smiling gently, the gentleman wrote his own name and address on the back as a reply, whispering, ‘Merry Christmas from your friend in the mailroom!’

3. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed a mysterious note taped to the door: ‘Packages delivered only on odd-numbered days.’ Curious, he checked the calendar—and found it was indeed an even day. Smiling, the driver thought, ‘What harm can it do?’ He took a package from his truck and placed it inside. Later that morning, a regular customer asked if they’d received any packages yesterday. With a twinkle in his eye, the manager replied, ‘Only one—an even bigger mystery!’

4. One day, as a regular customer was printing out documents, he heard someone whisper from behind him: ‘Hey, you forgot your envelope!’ Turning around, he saw no one was there. Since then, some employees claim they’ve seen a ghostly figure helping customers with their packages.’ Finally, one night an exhausted delivery driver found himself working late. Suddenly, he felt something gently slip his package into the right slot. Looking up, he saw only empty shelves and thought, ‘Guess The UPS Store has its own night owl helper.’
