The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a regular noticed something odd outside The UPS Store. A soft humming sound, like an impatient bee, seemed to come from inside the building. Curious, the man peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows. Then, out of nowhere, he heard a faint voice saying, ‘Where’s my package?’ Turned out it was just an anxious delivery driver waiting for his turn. The regular laughed and thought, ‘Next time I’ll bring a flashlight.’

2. At dawn, while a delivery driver prepared packages in The UPS Store, he kept hearing strange noises from the hallway. Every morning, just as he locked the last box, someone would quietly open the door and leave an envelope under the counter. Finally, one morning, the driver found the envelope empty—just a note inside: ‘Thanks for holding my mail!’ Turned out it was his friendly neighborhood mailman, who’d been pranking him for weeks.

3. At midnight, when the city slept and only neon signs lit up the streets, a voice crackled over The UPS Store’s intercom: ‘Package for Mr. Nobody, please sign here.’ A sleepy employee stirred from his chair, rubbed eyes and signed absently. Next morning, everyone in town received an anonymous package containing a note: 'Welcome to our little secret!' Since then, whenever someone mentions 'Mr. Nobody,' they get a free coffee from The UPS Store.

4. At dusk, when the last rays of sunshine touched the glass walls of The UPS Store, an old man entered with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. He whispered something to no one in particular before leaving through the back door. Suddenly, a delivery driver arrived, dropped off a box, and asked where the old man went. A young employee shrugged and said he hadn’t seen anyone leave. Just then, a neighbor popped their head in and mentioned seeing ‘an old timer’ heading towards the park for his evening stroll. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another day at The UPS Store—where mystery packages come and go like clockwork.
