About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Monday, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, a regular noticed something peculiar: the return address read simply ‘To Whom It May Concern, America.’ Curious, the clerk opened it carefully—inside was just a small envelope marked ‘Confidential.’ Inside that envelope lay another note: ‘Dear America, your mailman says hi!’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever anything odd arrived there, they called it ‘America’s secret admirer.’

2. In the dim light of dawn, an employee at The UPS Store heard a strange humming noise coming from one of the mailboxes. Curious, she approached and found nothing out of place—until she noticed that every time someone opened their package, it seemed to emit a soft, almost musical tone. Curious, she asked around, but no one else could hear anything unusual. Finally, an old delivery driver mentioned that when he was younger, packages used to make similar sounds. It turned out the boxes were just resonating with the morning breeze blowing through the open window. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee, and the mystery of The UPS Store’s singing packages remained a quirky urban legend.

3. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside The UPS Store. As he stepped out into the parking lot, he noticed something odd—a small package wrapped in brown paper seemed to be moving on its own. Curious, the driver approached it cautiously. Suddenly, the package chirped and started singing ‘Happy Birthday’—it was a toy bird his neighbor had accidentally sent him. With a laugh, he called back to the store: ‘Hey, anyone else getting birthday wishes today?’

4. In the dead of night, when most mailboxes were empty, a package began arriving at The UPS Store every Wednesday. No address, no return label—just a simple note inside reading 'For someone who needs it.' One day, a delivery driver noticed an old sweater wrapped around one of the packages. Curious, he tried it on and found it fit perfectly. From then on, whenever there was a mystery package, he’d wear that same sweater until it finally fell apart. Turned out, it belonged to a regular customer who loved practical jokes.
