About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was dropping off packages one morning when he noticed something strange. The line at The UPS Store stretched out the door and around the corner, but no customers were leaving with smiles on their faces. Curious, the driver approached a grumpy-looking customer near the front. ‘What’s taking so long?’ asked the man. Without missing a beat, another person in line answered, ‘Probably the same thing that always happens here—someone forgot how to mail a package!’ Everyone burst into laughter, and for once, the queue moved faster than usual. That afternoon, the delivery driver told his neighbor over coffee: 'You know, I think that place is cursed.' His neighbor just smiled and said, 'No, it’s just The UPS Store—it’s where everyone comes to vent their frustrations before returning home to smile again.'

2. A customer walked into The UPS Store one afternoon and asked, ‘Do you guys ever notice anything odd around here?’ Everyone looked up from their computers curiously. 'Well,' said the manager slowly, ‘there’s been this persistent rumor that our printer never prints what it should.’ ‘Really?’ another employee asked skeptically. The manager nodded solemnly. Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a package labeled ‘Top Secret.’ He handed it over, and everyone watched as the printer spat out… a receipt for a coffee shop down the street. A regular chuckled, shaking his head. ‘Guess they didn’t want us to know where to get good java,’ he joked.

3. A delivery driver was dropping off packages one morning when he noticed an old, dusty box on the loading dock. Curious, he picked it up—it felt heavy but wasn't marked with any labels or addresses. He opened it carefully and found a pile of old letters, each addressed to someone long gone. Turns out, it belonged to a neighbor who had passed away years ago. The delivery driver took the box home, sorted through the letters, and delivered them personally to their rightful recipients—making some neighbors smile and others tear up. Now, whenever anyone mentions ‘The UPS Store,’ people in town remember that day with a warm chuckle.

4. A little girl ran into The UPS Store one day, her eyes wide with wonder as she stared up at the giant box-shaped packages on display. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly and asked, ‘Mommy, can I have that big red package?’ Her mother smiled and said, ‘No honey, it’s for a neighbor.’ As they left, the little girl turned back and whispered to herself, ‘Next time…’ The UPS Store staff just shook their heads, smiling, knowing another adventure was bound to follow.
