The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while waiting for his package, a regular noticed something odd: every time he came in, the employee behind the counter said, ‘Your package will arrive today—just wait and see!’ But it never did. Finally, one day an old delivery driver walked in, scratched his head and said, 'Hey, I just delivered your package last week!' The regular laughed and replied, 'Thanks, but you must be thinking of someone else.' And from then on, whenever anyone mentioned that place, they’d smile and whisper, 'Oh yeah, remember The UPS Store?'

2. In the early hours of one Monday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store with an unusual package. As he approached the door, a strange humming sound filled the air—a low, almost soothing melody that seemed to come from within the building. Curious, the driver opened the door and found himself in a sea of boxes and packages—except for one corner where soft lights illuminated a cozy reading nook. A friendly voice said, 'Welcome to our secret lounge!' Turned out, it was just a regular employee taking a break while listening to his favorite podcast. The humming? Just his earphones.

3. In the dim light of dawn, a postal worker on her first day heard a soft whimpering sound coming from inside the store's supply closet. Curious, she opened the door and found a tiny squirrel, scared but unharmed. The poor thing must’ve crawled in through an open vent. With a smile, she took it outside and watched as it scurried off into the morning sunshine. That was the day everyone at The UPS Store learned that even a mailroom can be home to unexpected guests.

4. While standing in line at The UPS Store, a customer asked curiously: ‘Do you think those boxes are ever haunted?’ A delivery driver overheard and laughed: ‘Oh, come on! Those boxes are just for packages.’ But then he paused and added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Though I once saw one that kept trying to mail itself!’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, and the mood lightened instantly.
