The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, after closing hours, an old man started appearing in The UPS Store lobby. He’d quietly slip in through the employees’ entrance and sit down at one of the desks, never speaking or moving until morning. A delivery driver noticed him first but thought it was just another urban legend. Finally, a security guard caught sight of him and asked, ‘Sir, are you lost?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘No, I’m just waiting for my package.’ Turns out he was a regular who always arrived late at night, claiming his packages were always delivered after everyone else left.

2. After hours, when everyone had left, a delivery driver noticed a mysterious sign taped to the door of The UPS Store: ‘Package Waiting for You Inside.’ Curious, he peeked inside and found… nothing but a small note on the counter: “Your package is here. Sign here.” He signed the slip, and suddenly from behind him came a soft voice: 'Thank you, sir!' Turning around, he saw only an empty room and heard the distant sound of laughter. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they could leave packages there after hours, the delivery driver just smiled and said, 'We’ll take your word for it.'

3. After hours, when the last package had been delivered and the lights were dimmed, a delivery driver heard a soft hum coming from inside The UPS Store. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a tiny glowing creature buzzing around the counter. Turns out it was just the store’s security light reflecting off a fly. Relieved, the driver went home, leaving the mysterious humming behind. Next day, a regular customer asked if they could finally get some decent Wi-Fi in there.

4. After hours, when the last box had been sealed, a delivery driver noticed something odd: someone kept leaving tiny packages addressed to ‘Santa’s Little Helper’. Curious, he opened one package—it contained a miniature candy cane and a note saying, ‘Merry Christmas from your secret admirer!’ Over the next few days, more gifts appeared: a small ornament, a cozy scarf, even a handwritten letter apologizing for the mystery. Finally, on Christmas Eve, an envelope arrived with just a smiley face drawn inside. The delivery driver realized that Santa’s helper was actually their friendly neighborhood kid, who’d been delivering seasonal cheer anonymously.
