About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one morning and noticed something unusual on the parking lot: an old, dusty suitcase left behind. As he approached closer, he heard faint whispers coming from inside. As he opened it carefully, a tiny, sleepy hamster peered out, blinking in the bright sunlight. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their pet behind while rushing for an early delivery. A relieved smile spread across his face as he gently placed the hamster back into its cage and called the owner. That day, The UPS Store became known not just for packages but also for occasional lost critters.

2. A little girl walked into The UPS Store with her mom, staring wide-eyed at the giant box cutter on display. Her mother whispered something to the clerk, but the child couldn't help herself—she pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Mommy, can I get that?’ The clerk smiled warmly and replied, 'No, sweetie, that's for grown-ups only.' Mom nodded in agreement, adding jokingly, 'Besides, you wouldn't want to cut yourself while helping Daddy pack his boxes!' The little girl giggled, satisfied with her answer, and they both left happily.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one day and saw an unusual sight on the parking lot: a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper, tied with string, and labeled only with the words ‘For Mr. Nobody’. Curious, the delivery driver opened it, finding inside a note that read: ‘Dear nobody, please deliver this to someone who needs a smile today.’ Below was a single candy bar. From that day on, whenever packages arrived without addresses, they turned out to be free treats for customers—all thanks to Mr. Nobody.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store one afternoon and found a small envelope taped to the door. Curious, he opened it to discover a note reading: ‘Your package will arrive when you least expect it.’ Over the next few days, every time a delivery driver approached the store, they’d glance nervously at the door. Then, one morning, an old man walked in, handed the manager a package, and said, ‘This is for the guy who never expects anything.’ Everyone burst out laughing—turns out, it was just a prank from a regular customer.
