About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: every mailbox on the street seemed to be glowing faintly in the pre-dawn light. Curious, he approached one of the mailboxes and peered inside—it was filled with tiny, colorful balloons floating gently upward. Turns out, a neighbor had accidentally ordered a batch of LED-lit party balloons for her daughter’s birthday, but they arrived early. By the time everyone realized what was happening, the whole neighborhood was laughing and helping to release the balloons into the sky, creating a magical dawn.
2. It was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon when a familiar voice called out from inside The UPS Store: ‘Hey, did you see that?’ A regular looked up from his packing tape and replied curiously. No one had seen anything unusual—until they heard it again: a soft, rhythmic tapping sound coming from behind the counter. The tapping grew louder, almost like someone drumming on a package. Then, from around the corner emerged their neighbour, Mr. Johnson, balancing a stack of newspapers under each arm. 'Just practicing for my audition,' he grinned sheepishly. Everyone laughed, realizing it wasn’t a ghost but just another day in The UPS Store.
3. It was a quiet Thursday morning as a delivery driver unpacked boxes in the backroom of The UPS Store. Suddenly, he noticed something strange: every package labeled ‘urgent’ seemed to arrive exactly on time—even those sent from across the country. Curious, the driver followed one particularly urgent package to its destination—a small café down the street. To his surprise, it turned out that the owner had an identical twin brother who worked part-time at The UPS Store. From then on, whenever anyone needed something delivered urgently, they just asked their neighbor’s look-alike to help out.
4. It was a typical Monday morning when a delivery driver unpacked boxes in the back room of The UPS Store. Suddenly, an old man approached and asked if he could borrow a pen. With a twinkle in his eye, the driver replied, ‘Sir, I can give you a pen… or maybe even a whole box!’ ‘A whole box?’ the old man chuckled, tapping his walking stick on the floor. ‘Just one pen will do, kind sir.’ The driver grinned and pulled out a pen from his pocket, handing it over with a wink. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned The UPS Store, they’d whisper, ‘That’s where the legendary pen-borrower hangs out!’
