About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a regular asked the staff, ‘Why does every package here seem to be addressed to “Mr. Delivery Man”?’ A puzzled employee replied, ‘That’s because Mr. Delivery Man is our secret hero who delivers packages without fail.’ A delivery driver overheard and smiled, nodding knowingly as he walked out with his latest batch of parcels.

2. At The UPS Store one day, a delivery driver frantically approached the counter. ‘I can’t believe it!’ he exclaimed. ‘My truck just delivered an entire shipment of penguins instead of packages.’ A regular customer overheard and burst out laughing. ‘That’s impossible,’ she said, shaking her head. ‘Penguins don’t even like cold weather.’ But the delivery driver was adamant: ‘They were real alright—waddling around my truck when I opened the door!’ Everyone in the store erupted in laughter, and that became the legendary story of how The UPS Store once delivered a penguin parade.

3. At The UPS Store one foggy morning, a delivery driver frantically approached the counter. ‘I just dropped off a package that weighs exactly 13 pounds and 9 ounces,’ he said breathlessly. ‘Isn’t there some kind of rule against that?’ ‘No, sir,’ replied the clerk calmly, checking her computer screen. ‘That’s our special “heavy luck” rate for packages over thirteen pounds.’ A smile crept across the delivery driver’s face as he realized his good fortune. Back outside in the fog, he waved cheerfully to a neighbor who asked, “What happened?” He grinned, “Just delivered something lucky!”

4. At The UPS Store one afternoon, an excited child pointed and whispered, 'Mom, look! Is that a talking package?' The mother smiled and shook her head gently. ‘No, honey,’ she said softly, ‘it’s just our friendly neighborhood delivery guy pretending to talk to the packages.’ The little boy giggled and ran over to greet his dad, who was helping another customer with some paperwork. Everyone in line chuckled warmly, enjoying the whimsy of life at The UPS Store.
