About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot of The UPS Store. Among the boxes and packages, nestled between two mailboxes, sat an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he picked it up and gently opened the lid. Inside was a note that read: ‘Please take me home.’ Below it lay a small, dust-covered violin. Smiling, the driver thought, 'Who knows, maybe this will brighten someone’s day.' He took it inside and posted a sign: “Found Violin – Claim It or Play Along!” That afternoon, a regular customer walked in with tears in his eyes, claiming it as his childhood instrument lost years ago. The UPS Store became known for its heartwarming reunion.

2. In the dead of night, when only stars could see, a delivery driver noticed an envelope floating in mid-air near The UPS Store. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a handwritten note: ‘Please deliver this package to yourself.’ Inside was a small box wrapped in colorful paper. When he opened it, there was a free coffee voucher from The UPS Store. A regular customer appeared behind him, smiling sheepishly: “Just wanted to say thanks for always being so helpful!”

3. In the quiet hours after midnight, a delivery driver noticed an envelope addressed simply to ‘Lucky One’ sliding under the door of The UPS Store. Intrigued, he picked it up and saw only a dollar bill inside with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Good luck, Lucky One!’ Over the next few days, more envelopes appeared—each containing just one dollar and a smiley face drawn on the back. Soon enough, everyone in town knew about it. Some people even started leaving their own notes and small gifts for ‘Lucky One,’ turning The UPS Store into a quirky community hub where goodwill flourished late into the night.

4. Late one afternoon, while sorting packages in the dimly lit hallway, a delivery driver heard a soft humming coming from behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw an old man standing motionless, holding a clipboard and wearing a smile that seemed too bright for such a mundane task. As the driver approached closer, he noticed the old man was humming ‘Happy Birthday’—but there wasn’t anyone else around. The old man then said cheerfully, 'Package arrived safely!' Turned out he was just greeting every package as if it were his neighbor’s birthday present.
