The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of The UPS Store were turned off, a small dog would often appear outside the door. It sniffed curiously around the boxes and packages, as if searching for something familiar. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the little dog again and decided to bring it some treats from his lunchbox. To everyone’s surprise, the dog started following him home! Turns out, he was just a friendly neighborhood stray who thought The UPS Store was his own personal mail-order buffet.

2. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets in The UPS Store after hours? One day, a delivery driver asked his colleague: ‘Do you hear that?’ And everyone listened—there was a soft humming coming from inside. Suddenly, an old lady appeared from behind one of the counters and started singing along with the hum. Everyone burst out laughing—it turned out she’d been practicing her karaoke skills while waiting for packages all afternoon.

3. At closing time, an exhausted delivery driver muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll never understand why they call it “the UPS Store”.’ Little did he know that every night thereafter, the store’s shelves rearranged themselves into alphabetical order. One night, a new employee found herself lost among the neatly organized aisles, asking aloud, ‘Where am I?’ Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind, ‘Welcome to our little secret, miss!’

4. One day, a little girl walked into The UPS Store and asked, 'Mommy, why does that box move by itself?' A kind employee smiled and explained gently, ‘That’s not a magic box, sweetie—it’s just our friendly mail robot delivering packages!’ From then on, whenever anyone saw it moving, they’d say, “Oh no, here comes the talking UPS box again!” And everyone would laugh.
