The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman entered The UPS Store with a large envelope under his arm. As he approached the counter, the fluorescent lights flickered ominously, casting eerie shadows on the walls. After a brief pause, the old man whispered something into the clerk’s ear, causing both of them to burst out laughing. Turns out it was just his grandson’s latest school project—an enormous poster for a science fair. The UPS Store staff never did figure out why he insisted on delivering it so late.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver approached The UPS Store, he heard an urgent announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please! We’ve just received a package from outer space—no, really!’ Curious, the driver rushed inside and saw a small glowing box on the counter. A clerk exclaimed, 'We better open it quickly before it sends us another message!' Just then, an elderly neighbor walked in, looked at them quizzically and asked, 'Did you guys order a UFO?' Everyone burst out laughing.

3. At dawn one day, a delivery driver approached The UPS Store and noticed something odd: a small bird had built its nest inside the mail slot. Curious, he watched as the little creature diligently carried twigs and feathers into the slot. Over time, more neighbors began stopping by, bringing seeds and even tiny toys for the bird’s ‘office.’ Soon, The UPS Store became known around town not just for shipping packages but also for housing an industrious avian entrepreneur.

4. At sunrise one morning, a delivery driver arrived at The UPS Store to make his daily drop-off. As he opened the door, he caught a whiff of something familiar—a strong scent of freshly brewed coffee. Turns out, it was just an early-morning coffee enthusiast—one of the store’s regular customers who had set up a makeshift espresso machine in the corner. The delivery driver grinned and exchanged friendly banter before heading off with his morning caffeine fix. From then on, every day at dawn, you could spot them both: the delivery guy and his newfound coffee buddy.
