The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small dog would always appear outside The UPS Store's loading dock, staring intently at the packages being loaded into trucks. Curious, he approached the little guy. Turned out it was just a stray with big brown eyes and an even bigger appetite for leftover tape. From then on, whenever anyone needed help sealing boxes or finding their way around, the friendly neighborhood canine became ‘UPS Paws’—the unofficial mascot of The UPS Store.

2. At closing time one day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a strange request. ‘Can you please hold my package here until tomorrow morning?’ he asked the clerk. The staff thought nothing of it—until they saw him do the same thing every single day. Finally, on his last visit, the old man asked for something unusual: 'Could you maybe keep this package overnight?' The clerk smiled and nodded, thinking it was just another quirky habit. Next morning, everyone burst out laughing when they found a giant birthday cake wrapped as a package.

3. One morning, as a delivery driver was leaving The UPS Store, he heard someone whispering behind him. ‘Hey, wait up!’ He turned around but saw no one. Shrugging it off, he walked towards his truck—only to feel a hand on his shoulder again. This time, he spun around quickly…and found himself face-to-face with an empty box. The delivery driver looked puzzled, then laughed and shook his head. Glancing inside the box, he saw only a note: ‘Next time, leave the package here—saving you both a trip.’ Turns out, a regular had been helping him out without saying a word.

4. One afternoon, while waiting for his package, a regular exclaimed, ‘I swear I saw that envelope move!’ Everyone looked around curiously, but nothing seemed out of place. Suddenly, another customer leaned in and whispered, ‘Maybe it’s those magical tracking algorithms at work.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who’d been listening nearby. The regular shook his head and said, ‘Nah, I’m pretty sure it was just the wind playing tricks on me.’ And everyone went back to their packages with a smile.
