About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets in The UPS Store after hours? A regular once asked if they were closing down for good—or had they just stopped delivering packages? Then a delivery driver walked in and loudly announced he was there to pick up an urgent package. Everyone jumped, thinking maybe the store wasn’t closed after all. Turned out it was just another slow night—and the driver’s usual greeting.

2. In the early mornings, before anyone else arrived, an old printer in The UPS Store started humming like a contented bee. No one could figure out why or when it had begun. One day, a delivery driver brought in a package wrapped in so many layers that it looked like a present from Santa himself. The printer stopped its hum and began printing tiny messages on the wrapping paper: 'You’re doing great!', ‘Have a nice day!’ Soon, everyone in town knew about the magical printer, and neighbors would drop off their packages just for the uplifting notes.

3. In the middle of the night, someone started leaving mysterious notes in The UPS Store’s pickup area. Each note read: ‘Your package is ready—just sign here.’ One morning, a delivery driver found a pile of signed notes and wondered aloud who was playing this prank. A regular customer suggested it might be their neighbor, known for his love of practical jokes. Soon enough, everyone in town joined in, signing each other's packages anonymously. By noon, the store had turned into an impromptu community celebration, with everyone laughing and sharing stories.

4. In the dead of night, a delivery driver swore he heard someone yelling from inside The UPS Store: ‘Package not found! Call customer!’ Curious, the driver peeked through the window and saw only boxes stacked high. He called out, but no one answered. Next morning, everyone in the neighborhood received an anonymous note: 'Your package is here—just sign for it!'
