About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘I just saw something I’ll never forget!’ Everyone looked up from their packages and wondered what had him so flustered. It turned out he’d seen a regular customer, Mr. Smith, trying to stuff an enormous box into his tiny car. 'You could fit half of that in your trunk!' the driver joked. Everyone laughed as Mr. Smith sheepishly nodded, then drove off, muttering something about 'just one more thing.'

2. At The UPS Store one day, an employee noticed something peculiar. As she sorted packages late afternoon, a small envelope kept sliding under her desk. She picked it up, only to find it contained nothing but a single piece of paper with these words scribbled on it: 'Check your mailbox tomorrow.' Curious, she did—and found another identical note. Next morning, there was yet another note in her box. This time it said, ‘Your package is too big for our store—try the post office down the street.’ A few days later, everyone in town knew about it and started teasing her about having an oversized package from somewhere mysterious. Finally, after weeks of guessing games, someone joked that maybe it was a secret subscription to cat treats or something equally absurd.

3. At The UPS Store one afternoon, a customer overheard an announcement over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s package of the century might arrive any minute!' Soon enough, everyone in the store was buzzing with excitement. A regular looked at his neighbor and asked, ‘What if it’s my package?’ Just then, the door swung open, and a delivery driver walked in, holding a small box. He announced cheerfully, ‘Here it is—today’s package of the century!’ Everyone laughed as they realized it was just another ordinary package, but somehow, that made the story even more memorable.

4. At The UPS Store one night, a regular asked curiously: "Why does every package here seem to be addressed to someone named John Smith?" With a knowing smile, another employee chimed in, ‘John Smith is our secret benefactor who pays for all late-night snacks!’ The regular laughed and shook his head, but no one could ever prove it wasn’t true.
