About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was sorting packages inside The UPS Store, he noticed an odd sound coming from one of the mailboxes. It was like a soft humming, almost musical, but nobody else seemed to hear it. Curious, he opened the mailbox and found nothing unusual—just a small envelope addressed to ‘The Neighbor Who Likes Mysteries.’ Inside was a note: ‘You’re not crazy; I’m the one who’s been humming.’ Turns out, a regular customer had been practicing his ukulele late nights.

2. A regular customer once asked the staff, ‘Why does it always take so long for my package to arrive here?’ Since then, employees joke that maybe the packages are playing hide-and-seek around the store. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an unusually large box. As he struggled to carry it inside, everyone guessed what was inside—maybe a dinosaur or a spaceship? Turned out it was just a giant birthday cake for the manager’s anniversary.

3. At dawn one day, when most people were still asleep, an unusual sound echoed through The UPS Store’s empty hallway. It was the soft hum of a fax machine that had been silent for years. Curious, a delivery driver approached the old machine and found an ancient envelope with a faded stamp. Inside was a note from someone's long-lost relative, asking for help in tracing their family tree. The UPS Store became the unlikely centerpiece of a neighborhood reunion as everyone pitched in to solve the mystery. By sunset, they celebrated with coffee and cake, bonding over shared memories and laughter.

4. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was sorting packages in The UPS Store, a small dog suddenly appeared from behind a shelf and started barking excitedly at something no one else could see. Curious, the driver followed the dog’s gaze and found an old man standing near the counter, holding a package with trembling hands. ‘It’s for my granddaughter,’ he said softly. Turns out, the little pooch had recognized her scent on the box.
