The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in the parking lot of The UPS Store—a small, mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. No return address or label. Curiosity got the better of him, and he decided to bring it inside. As he opened it carefully, a crumpled piece of paper fell out: ‘Free coffee for one day,’ it read. Turned out, it was a prank from a neighbor who’d been teasing everyone about getting free perks.’

2. Late one night, an employee heard a strange humming noise coming from inside The UPS Store's storage room. Curious but cautious, they approached only to discover a small package emitting soothing melodies whenever it was opened. Curiously, the employee decided to open the package during their break. Out stepped a gruff old man wearing a fedora and carrying a thermos. ‘Just delivering some mail,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, then promptly vanished into thin air. Since that night, employees occasionally hear whispers of ‘thank you for your service’ when helping customers.’

3. One day, while mailing a package, a regular asked the staff: ‘Why does it always take forever for my tracking number to update here?’ With a knowing smile, one of the employees leaned in and whispered, 'Because our computers are too busy checking if your package is actually going anywhere.' The regular laughed heartily, realizing that sometimes patience is just part of the adventure.

4. While dropping off some documents at The UPS Store, a businessman overheard two employees whispering about a mysterious box that kept appearing on the loading dock every Wednesday afternoon. Curious, he pretended to leave but snuck back to peek through the window. Inside, he saw an old delivery driver placing a small package into a hidden compartment under the counter. When asked what it was, the driver winked and said, ‘Just our little Wednesday tradition, sir.’ The businessman smiled, realizing it was probably just someone’s forgotten lunchbox or coffee thermos.
