About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does everyone leave early on Wednesday afternoons?’ No one knew for sure, but rumors began circulating that The UPS Store had become the local headquarters of an invisible postal strike. Soon enough, people started bringing in boxes of donuts and coffee every Wednesday afternoon—clearly, someone was organizing something behind closed doors. But no one ever saw anyone leaving with packages or envelopes. Turns out, it was just a regular Wednesday meeting of the neighborhood book club, using The UPS Store as their secret hideout.
2. A regular customer noticed something peculiar every Monday afternoon. The mailboxes in front of 'The UPS Store' would mysteriously fill with envelopes addressed to someone named ‘Mr. Package’—but there was no such person listed as a tenant. One day, a delivery driver mentioned casually that Mr. Package must be an alias for some big-time package delivery service. Everyone laughed it off until a neighbor spotted a tiny robot delivering packages on Sundays. Turned out, it was just a quirky marketing gimmick for The UPS Store’s Sunday hours.
3. At night, an unusual humming sound could be heard coming from inside The UPS Store. Employees shrugged it off as just another late-night package sorting session, until one day a curious delivery driver asked: 'Who's ordering all these batteries?' It turned out that a regular customer was secretly stockpiling emergency supplies for his doomsday prep group. When the store manager finally confronted him, he sheepishly admitted: ‘Just wanted to be ready for when the zombies come!’ Everyone laughed and decided to keep the midnight battery deliveries as their little secret.
4. One day, after school, a little girl entered The UPS Store and asked curiously: ‘Mister, why do all those boxes come alive every Thursday?’ The clerk smiled mysteriously. 'Oh, honey,' he said, 'those aren't boxes—those are packages on their way to happy homes.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then asked, 'So, when do they go back to being just boxes again?' 'Never, sweetie,' replied her neighbor who worked there. 'They're always on their way somewhere!' And with that, everyone laughed, including the packages.
