The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a little girl would appear in front of The UPS Store's window. She’d wave excitedly at the delivery driver who passed by every morning, but no one ever saw her during the day. One night, a delivery driver noticed an envelope addressed to ‘Santa Claus’ sitting on the counter. Smiling, he picked it up and placed it carefully inside his bag. The next morning, as he drove past the store, he waved back at the little girl, now holding a package wrapped in bright red paper. Everyone laughed when they found out that Santa had delivered his own letter.

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver was preparing to leave after hours, he noticed an envelope taped to the door of The UPS Store. Curious, he picked it up—it was addressed simply to ‘Next Available Employee.’ He opened it cautiously and found inside a crumpled note that read: 'Please deliver this package to yourself.' With a laugh, he shook his head and slipped the letter back into the envelope, deciding it must be some prank from a regular customer. As he drove off, he waved goodbye to a neighbor who happened to wave back—only later realizing she had been waving at the empty building.

3. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was packing boxes in the backroom, a small dog suddenly appeared from under a table, wagging its tail and sniffing curiously at an unusual package. Curious about the scent, the little dog approached the box cautiously until it accidentally nudged something inside with its nose. Suddenly, out popped a tiny pair of headphones that started playing a soft melody. Startled, the dog yipped and ran off, leaving behind a perplexed delivery driver who found himself humming along to some unknown tune.

4. Late one morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages on the loading dock, he noticed something unusual: an old, dusty kite protruding from beneath a stack of boxes. Curious, he picked up the box and found it contained nothing but a note that read: ‘Please deliver this kite to Mr. Johnson.’ The delivery driver smiled, realizing it must be for his next-door neighbor, who loved flying kites. That afternoon, as he handed over the package, Mr. Johnson exclaimed, ‘Finally! It’s been ages since I could fly my old Blue Thunder!’
