The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered The UPS Store and asked the clerk, 'Do you know why they call it "UPS"?' Without missing a beat, she replied, 'Because every package here is a surprise!' Since then, customers often overhear employees whispering, 'This one’s going to be good...' One day, a delivery driver walked in, clearly flustered. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘I just dropped off a package that was supposed to go to Russia but ended up here!’ Everyone burst out laughing—even the clerk quipped, ‘Welcome to our little surprise party!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one afternoon, frowning as he tried to fit his oversized package into the tiny drop-off slot. Suddenly, the door of the store opened wide on its own, revealing a cheerful sign that read: ‘Welcome, Overstuffed Friend!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. He grinned and said, 'Well, hello there, little helper!' After a moment’s hesitation, he carefully placed the package inside. To everyone’s surprise—including the driver—a small voice came from within the store: ‘Thank you for trusting us with your big package!’ Turns out it was just an overly talkative mailroom robot having a good day.

3. A customer approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘I just received my package,’ she said, ‘but it’s addressed to someone named “The UPS Store.”’ The clerk smiled and replied, 'Well, ma'am, that’s because your package was actually delivered to us!' She continued, 'We get packages like that all the time—someone sent something here instead of their actual address.' The customer laughed, shaking her head in amusement. 'Guess I’ll just have to make sure they send it directly next time,' she said as she left, already forgetting the mix-up.

4. One night, a regular noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside The UPS Store after hours. Curious, they decided to investigate... As they peered inside, a sleepy delivery driver was plugging in his coffee maker for an early morning jolt. Startled, he offered them a warm smile and a freshly brewed cup of Joe. ‘Welcome to our secret morning ritual,’ he said with a wink.
