The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an announcement blared over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Attention customers and employees—your packages are now being delivered by penguins.’ A delivery driver had accidentally left the door open overnight, and ever since, customers would occasionally spot tuxedoed penguins scurrying with boxes under their wings. Word spread quickly through town that The UPS Store was now a surreal place where penguins delivered packages. Some customers even brought snacks for the tuxedoed workers. Eventually, a delivery driver noticed one of his penguin friends struggling with a particularly heavy box. He rushed in, took over, and announced, 'Alright, boys, let's get back to work!' Since then, the store has become a local landmark—a quirky mix of modern logistics and avian efficiency.

2. A regular customer was printing out documents one afternoon when suddenly, the printer started whispering his name. No one else could hear it, but he insisted it called him by first name every time it finished a job. Finally, curious neighbors gathered around and asked if they could listen too. The printer obliged, whispering everyone’s names in perfect order—from youngest to oldest. When it got to the delivery driver who’d been delivering packages for decades, the whole place erupted in laughter as the printer softly said, ‘Mr. Smith, you’re next!’

3. One day, while a delivery driver was sorting packages inside The UPS Store, he heard something odd coming from the ceiling speakers: 'All packages today are delayed due to a mysterious delay.' Curious, the driver checked the monitors but saw nothing unusual. Then, over the intercom came another message: ‘Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused by our friendly time-traveling package!’ Turns out, someone had accidentally left the store’s vintage 80s radio on, and everyone got a kick out of it.

4. A package arrived with no return address or sender's name, just a note scribbled on the side: 'For the person who needs it most.' Inside was a single envelope addressed to 'The Busiest Person in This Town.' The next day, another package arrived for ‘The Busiest Person.’ When opened, it contained only a small note: ‘Just wanted to help you catch up!’ Turned out, someone had started anonymously delivering tiny packets of coffee and snacks throughout the week—making the busiest person’s job slightly less hectic and much more caffeinated.
