The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was dropping off some documents when he noticed something peculiar. Every Wednesday afternoon, exactly at three o’clock, an old man in a fedora would enter the store and ask for a specific box number. No one else ever did that. One day, our regular decided to follow him discreetly. Turned out, every week the old guy was buying a pack of gum from the vending machine next door! When asked why he always came here on Wednesdays, his reply was simply: ‘Habit, sonny.’

2. A little girl walked into The UPS Store one morning with her father. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! It’s moving!’ Her dad looked down and saw nothing but a small box on wheels. Smiling, he said, 'No, honey, that’s just our friendly neighborhood delivery guy getting ready for work.' She giggled and replied, 'But Daddy, it really was moving!' And they both laughed as she ran off to explore more of the magical world inside The UPS Store.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock one afternoon and noticed an unusual package. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover it contained a small, handwritten note reading: ‘If you deliver this to anyone else, your printer will stop working for exactly three days.’ He delivered it with shaking hands, hoping nobody would notice. Three days later, his printer started humming like never before—and so did everyone’s around town who received similar notes. The mystery package turned out to be just another prank from a regular trying to brighten people’s day.

4. A delivery dog named Max started visiting The UPS Store every day after his walk. One morning, as he trotted through the door, the clerk exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that the same pooch who comes here every day?’ Max wagged his tail and sat down next to the counter. 'Morning, furry friend!' said another clerk, scratching behind his ear. A delivery driver arrived with a package, looked around, then asked, 'Has anyone seen my dog?' Everyone laughed, pointing towards Max. 'He must be your canine double,' replied a neighbor.}
