The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an announcement crackled over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Attention customers—your packages are now being delivered by a friendly neighborhood squirrel named Ralph.’ A regular scoffed, but soon everyone was watching for Ralph’s antics with a smile. Soon enough, Ralph became a local celebrity. Customers would wait outside just to see him deliver a package or two. One day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe we should get Ralph his own uniform!’ And from then on, Ralph showed up in a tiny red vest emblazoned with ‘Squirrel Express’. But one cold winter morning, no one saw Ralph. Until, that is, he appeared carrying a giant box labeled ‘UPS Store Winter Coats & Blankets’.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and calmly walked inside. Moments later, a voice boomed through the store’s intercom: ‘All employees, please report to the manager’s office immediately.’ When everyone arrived in the manager's office, they found an envelope on the desk with their names written neatly inside. The manager opened it and read aloud: 'Dear Employees, due to an administrative mix-up, you are now officially late for lunch.' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank from a regular customer who loved playing practical jokes.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a mysterious package arrived at The UPS Store. Its label read simply: ‘To Whom It May Concern.’ Inside was an envelope addressed to everyone in town. When opened, it contained only a note that said: 'Please deliver this package to yourself.' A regular came by later and asked the staff if they could forward the package to his next-door neighbor. Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot to charge him for the service.

4. At midnight, when the streets fell silent, a strange note appeared on every box in The UPS Store: 'Your package will arrive... sooner than you expect!' One morning, a sleepy delivery driver opened the store and found all packages neatly arranged with tiny notes: ‘Your package arrived yesterday… but don’t worry, it’s still here!’ Everyone laughed it off as just another late-night prank from an unknown neighbor.
