The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular once asked, ‘Why does every package delivered here seem to leave five minutes later than it arrived?’ After some thought, an old delivery driver whispered, ‘Because when they arrive, we check if everything’s intact—then we deliver them back in time!’ A regular laughed and said, ‘So you’re saying I should be worried if my packages come early?’ Everyone around cracked up, realizing that maybe, just maybe, punctuality wasn’t their strong suit.

2. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. A neighbor’s cat had somehow managed to climb onto the roof and now seemed stuck, staring down at him with wide-eyed curiosity. Smiling, he reached into his truck for a ladder and carefully climbed up. The cat, intrigued but not scared, followed him down like a little shadow. Once on solid ground, the relieved driver patted the curious feline, who promptly jumped onto his shoulder and started purring contentedly. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned The UPS Store, everyone in town would wink knowingly and say, ‘That’s where they keep the best secret courier in town!’

3. At night, after closing hours, an employee found an old umbrella on the store’s parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and brought it inside. For weeks, whenever someone needed a replacement pen or stapler, the umbrella mysteriously appeared in their box. Finally, one day, a delivery driver asked for some tape. When she opened her package, there was the umbrella again—this time with a note attached: ‘Use me wisely!’ Since then, employees joke that The UPS Store has its own weather forecasting system.

4. At The UPS Store, one day a curious little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why do those packages look like they’re dancing?’ Her mother smiled and gently replied, ‘Honey, those packages are not dancing—they’re just waiting for their special people.’ Suddenly, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, “Hey everyone! We’ve got Santa’s sleigh parts here!” The crowd laughed, realizing that sometimes even ordinary packages can be part of something extraordinary.
