About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once asked the manager, ‘Why does every package here seem to be addressed to “John Smith”?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the manager replied, ‘Ah, John Smith is our universal alias for packages when we don’t know who they’re really meant for.’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘And sometimes it’s just easier than writing “To Whom It May Concern.”’ The regular laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll keep an eye out for my mysterious package from Mr. Smith!’

2. At The UPS Store, a delivery driver exclaimed one day, 'I swear, I just saw a package walking into the restroom!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the manager who was on coffee break outside. A minute later, an embarrassed voice came from behind the counter: ‘Hey, that’s me!’ It turned out a regular customer had accidentally left his package in the bathroom and everyone had thought it was a ghostly delivery man.

3. At The UPS Store, a delivery driver exclaimed one morning, 'I swear, I just saw a package walking into the building!' Everyone turned around, but there was no one there. Just an empty hallway and a few boxes on the floor. A regular from next door poked his head in and said, ‘Did you check the mailroom? Sometimes packages take a detour.’ They did—and sure enough, found the package snoozing in a corner, completely unaware of its own adventure. The end.

4. At The UPS Store, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, why is that box talking?’ ‘It’s not talking,’ her mom replied calmly, checking her phone. ‘That’s just our friendly neighborhood delivery driver recording the package details.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled, ‘So he can tell us where it goes?’ ‘Exactly,’ said her mom with a smile. At The UPS Store, everyone becomes an amateur detective trying to solve the mystery of who delivered what!’
