The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, an old man arrived at The UPS Store with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. He whispered something to the clerk and disappeared into the fog. The next morning, the clerk found a note stuck inside the package: 'Please hold this for my friend.' Below was scribbled, 'P.S. It's just socks!' The UPS Store laughed it off until they realized everyone started showing up early every day, asking if their ‘mysterious package’ had arrived.

2. At closing time, a delivery driver sighed and said to no one in particular, ‘I’ll never understand why everyone rushes here just before the weekend.’ But that Monday morning, as usual, the line stretched out the door. On his way out, a neighbor stopped by to drop off some mail, smiling broadly despite the wait. The driver shook his head with a smile: 'Guess it’s worth it every time.' And indeed, for all their frustration, they always came back.

3. At midnight, when even the night owls had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something strange. A regular customer's package kept arriving early, before its scheduled time. Curious, he followed the package one night and found that it was being delivered not to the customer’s address, but to his next-door neighbor’s house. Turns out, they were secretly dating and using The UPS Store as their clandestine meeting place. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and went back to work, knowing he’d just witnessed another love story unfold.

4. At midnight, when even the night owls had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every Thursday, exactly at 12:05 AM, a small package appeared on the counter of The UPS Store. Curious, he picked it up and saw only a plain envelope with no return address. For weeks, he opened it each Thursday—always finding a handwritten note inside: ‘Thanks for your patience!’ Turned out, an elderly neighbor was using their store as his secret drop-off point for delivering cookies after midnight.’
