The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in The UPS Store when a regular customer noticed something odd. As he waited for his package, he kept glancing out the window towards the empty parking lot. Suddenly, a small brown envelope appeared floating through the air and landed right next to his feet. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience—your package is on its way.’ Below were handwritten directions to a local bakery with the message: “Stop by for a free cookie while you wait.” Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prank from one of the delivery drivers.

2. At closing time one day, a delivery driver asked the manager, ‘Why is there always a package marked “Top Secret” addressed to no one?’ Manager smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, that’s for our secret agent customer next door.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly and said, 'Ah, I see. And what does he do with them?' Manager winked, 'He probably eats them for lunch!' Everyone laughed, and the story became an annual tradition on April Fool's Day.

3. At the stroke of noon, a delivery driver announced into the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all employees—your package has arrived!’ Everyone looked up from their computers only to see…nothing. Everyone turned around expectantly, but the only thing moving was a piece of paper slowly floating down from above. It landed on the counter with a tiny rustle, and everyone leaned in closer to read it aloud: 'Dear Employee, congratulations! Your package is now available for pickup.' A delivery driver cleared his throat awkwardly. ‘Guess I’ll just leave it here then,’ he shrugged, before walking out, muttering something about ‘another one of those mysterious packages’.

4. At the stroke of midnight, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he picked it up, only to discover that it was filled with old letters addressed to ‘Santa Claus’—obviously meant for someone else. With a smile, he decided to deliver them himself, one by one, to their rightful recipients around town. The next morning, everyone received not just their packages but also a warm note from an anonymous neighbor, thanks to the good Samaritan delivery driver.
