The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flicker on, a regular would notice something odd outside The UPS Store. A small dog, usually shy around people, would suddenly bark ferociously whenever a delivery truck pulled up. No one could figure out why. One day, an old neighbor stopped in and asked what was up with the barking dog. Turned out it wasn’t a dog at all—it was just a stray cat that had taken refuge under the counter during deliveries. Everyone laughed, and from then on, the cat became part of the store’s quirky charm.

2. One morning, a regular noticed an unusual package in the parking lot. It was wrapped in brown paper and had no return address or label. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every time he tried to open it, the tape resealed itself. Finally, a delivery driver suggested they try water instead of force. When sprayed with a hose, the tape dissolved like magic, revealing inside—a box full of donuts. The whole neighborhood stopped by later for coffee and treats, making ‘the mysterious package’ just another funny story about their friendly local post office.

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store. He noticed something peculiar: a small envelope addressed to ‘The First Customer of Every Day.’ Curious, he opened it and found only a handwritten note: 'Please hold my package until I wake up.' Inside was a pair of warm socks. Smiling, the driver thought, 'Someone must be really cold,' and left the socks on the counter for the next customer. From then on, whenever someone needed to send an unexpected gift or message, they’d just drop by The UPS Store early in the morning.'

4. At closing time, when the last customer left The UPS Store, a regular noticed that one of the boxes had mysteriously changed its label. Curious, he checked the new label and found it addressed to himself—completely unexpected mail from someone across town. Turns out, the delivery driver had accidentally swapped their packages. A regular joke among neighbors now, whenever anyone leaves early: ‘Better double-check your box before you go!’
