The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights of The UPS Store flickered on, a small dog would appear outside the window, staring intently at something no one else could see. One night, an exhausted delivery driver leaned against the door, dozing off. Suddenly, the dog bounded inside and started licking his face. Startled awake, the driver looked around—only to realize everyone was gone home. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood canine who thought he was another customer.

2. At closing time, when the UPS Store's neon sign buzzed to life, a little girl would always pause outside, pointing and whispering, ‘Mommy, look! It’s dancing!’ One day, an elderly neighbor walked in and asked the clerk if she’d seen his cat. Turns out Fluffy had been hanging around the store’s neon sign, entranced by its twinkling lights. The whole town laughed when they found him sleeping on top of the sign the next morning—completely exhausted from watching it dance all night.

3. At dawn, when the doors of The UPS Store were just beginning to open, a delivery driver found an unusual package. It was wrapped in plain brown paper and had no address or return label. Curious, he opened it carefully, revealing inside only a small note that read: ‘Please deliver me to the first person who asks for “Package #42.”’ Everyone in town started checking their mailboxes with a smile, until finally, a neighbor joked, ‘Guess I’m Package #42 today!’

4. At midnight, when the UPS Store’s security camera hummed to life, an old cat would appear, sauntering past packages as if it owned every box. Then, with a sudden leap onto the counter, it would start unwrapping a package left overnight—a birthday gift, no doubt—before casually strolling out again. The next morning, the delivery driver found a tiny ribbon and a crumpled note reading: ‘Happy Birthday, dear UPS Store!’
