About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an ordinary Tuesday morning in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver noticed something strange outside The UPS Store. A regular customer, Mr. Johnson, always left promptly at 8 am for his coffee run. But today, he was nowhere to be seen. As the sun rose higher, so did the pile of unclaimed packages. Finally, around noon, Mr. Johnson appeared with a huge cup of coffee and a sheepish smile. Turns out, he had accidentally locked himself inside a storage unit next door while trying to retrieve some old photos. The UPS Store team helped him out, laughing it off as just another day at work. Since then, everyone jokes that The UPS Store is more like a neighborhood hub than just a post office.
2. It was just another day at The UPS Store in suburban Boston when a delivery driver noticed something unusual on the counter. Among envelopes and packages lay a small, dusty violin case. Curious, he picked it up—and suddenly, every printer in the store started playing classical music. Alarmed but amused, the staff rushed over. Turns out, an elderly neighbor had accidentally left her vintage instrument behind during a rush. After some laughter and a quick phone call, everyone went back to work—with one minor adjustment: now, whenever someone mentioned ‘missing’ something, the printers would softly hum Vivaldi until found.
3. It was a typical Thursday afternoon at The UPS Store in rural Texas when a little girl walked in with her mother. As she approached the counter, she pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Mommy, look! It's talking!' The clerk smiled and leaned closer, pretending to listen intently. ‘Really?’ he asked softly. The girl nodded vigorously. Mom laughed gently, explaining it was just their new robot helper. Suddenly, everyone heard a deep, mechanical voice say, “Have a nice day!” Everyone burst out laughing, including the robot, who promptly tripped over his own wires.
4. It was just another day at The UPS Store in sunny California when a delivery driver exclaimed, 'This package is heavier than it looks!' Little did he know that from then on, every customer would swear they saw him lifting boxes with one hand. Word quickly spread around town that our friendly delivery guy could lift trucks with ease. Soon enough, everyone stopped by The UPS Store just to watch him work his magic. Turns out, he was simply bending down to pick up packages like anyone else—just much more dramatically.
