About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store one morning, a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that!’ Everyone turned to see an old man walking backwards down the street, muttering something about his package being late. As it turns out, the old guy was just following his dog who had snatched up a wayward package. A delivery driver joked, ‘Guess he’s got some serious package anxiety!’ Everyone laughed, and life went on as usual at The UPS Store.

2. In the early hours of dawn, when most mailboxes were empty, a neighbor noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. A box kept appearing on their porch, addressed to someone who didn’t live there. Curious, the neighbor picked up the package and saw it was addressed to ‘Mr. Smith,’ but with no street number or city. Thinking it might be a mistake, they decided to deliver it themselves. Later that day, a regular walked into The UPS Store asking for his mysterious package, only to receive a big smile and a friendly remark: ‘We found your lost letterbox!’

3. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a strange humming sound emerged from inside The UPS Store. A delivery driver passing by stopped in surprise and leaned closer, wondering if it was just an old machine coming alive after dark. Curious, he knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Inside, the humming grew louder—until suddenly, a tiny voice piped up: ‘Sir? Can you help me with my package?’ Turned out, it was just a sleepy robot sorting mail. The delivery driver laughed and left, shaking his head, while the store’s automated systems went back to their quiet nightly routine.

4. At The UPS Store one day, a customer asked curiously, ‘Why does it smell like coffee here?’ ‘Oh,’ replied the friendly employee with a smile, ‘that’s because our manager brews his own special blend every morning.’ A regular overheard and teased him, “Next thing you know, they’ll be serving espresso before packages!” The whole place erupted in laughter—even the delivery driver cracked a smile while dropping off his next shipment.
