About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a regular asked the manager, ‘Why does every package here seem to be addressed to “John Smith”?’ The manager smiled and leaned in confidentially. ‘Ah,’ he whispered, ‘it’s our little secret. John Smith is just our default recipient for packages that nobody claims.’ The regular laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement as he walked out, muttering something about mysterious mailmen.

2. At The UPS Store one day, an excited child pointed and whispered, 'Look, mama! It’s talking!' Everyone turned around to see if the boxes were really moving across the conveyor belt on their own. A curious delivery driver bent down to inspect, but all he saw was a piece of tape with ‘Priority’ written on it. A friendly neighbor chuckled and explained, ‘It’s just those boxes being sorted like magic!’ And everyone went back to their business, leaving the mystery unsolved—but not unfunny.

3. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, the manager casually remarked, 'You look like you’re carrying something special today.' ‘Oh, just another package for a regular,’ replied the driver, grinning sheepishly. ‘He always asks for “the usual”.’ The manager chuckled and shook his head, knowing full well that their most frequent customer was simply too embarrassed to admit he sent himself care packages every week.’

4. In the early morning fog, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with a package so large it looked like he was delivering a small car. Nobody had seen anything like that before. As he struggled to carry it inside, an old lady from next door asked curiously what on earth it could be. With a sheepish smile, the delivery driver admitted he wasn’t sure either—it turned out to be a giant inflatable unicorn for some local festival. Everyone got a good laugh, and life in the neighborhood went back to normal—except now everyone knew where to find the biggest party balloon around.
