About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At The UPS Store, a regular customer once asked angrily, ‘Why is my package always late?’ And ever since then, every morning around 8 AM, someone in a brown uniform would appear and whisper into the ear of the store manager: “Just one more day, okay?” One day, a new employee overheard the whispered conversation and decided to investigate. Turns out it was just an elderly delivery driver who, every morning, reminded the manager not to forget his wife’s birthday present. Since then, everyone at The UPS Store jokes that the packages are delayed on purpose—just long enough for the perfect anniversary surprise.

2. At dawn one morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious box, whispering something about top-secret documents. Ever since then, customers swear they hear strange noises coming from the back room. One day, an excited regular came in and asked if he could open the back room. The manager shook his head, but couldn’t help overhearing him mutter, ‘Finally, I’ll see those secret documents!’ Turns out, it was just a new shipment of coffee mugs emblazoned with the logo: “UPS – Delivering Memories Since Dawn.”

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver rushed into The UPS Store, panting and holding a small envelope. He whispered to the clerk, 'I just found this on our loading dock—no return address.' Curious, the clerk opened it carefully. Inside was a handwritten note: ‘Please hold my package until tomorrow.’ Below was scribbled, ‘P.S. Sorry for the inconvenience!’ Turns out, it was just another neighbor’s forgotten package.

4. At night, while closing up, an employee noticed something odd on the security camera feed—a tiny note stuck to the door. It read: 'Your next package will arrive exactly when you least expect it.' Over the next few days, packages started arriving at strange times—like a cake delivered just as someone was leaving for work or a bouquet of flowers showing up right before lunch break. Employees began joking that The UPS Store had hired some mischievous elf. Eventually, one morning, a delivery driver arrived with a small box addressed to ‘The Employee Who Left the Note.’ Inside was a package containing a handwritten card saying: “Thanks for your patience!” Since then, everyone knows not to take things too seriously.
