The UPS Store

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside The UPS Store. A small pile of packages seemed to appear out of nowhere, wrapped in mysterious packaging and addressed to no one. Curious, he picked up one package—only to discover it was filled with warm socks and handwritten notes from ‘a concerned neighbor.’ Turns out, someone had mistakenly ordered hundreds of pairs of woolen socks for themselves but decided to anonymously share the surplus instead.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed an unusual package on the counter of The UPS Store. Curious, he picked it up—it was wrapped in plain brown paper, with no return address or label. Carefully unwrapping it, he found inside only a note that read: ‘Please hold this for someone important.’ Below was a small keyring with the logo of their local coffee shop. Smiling, the driver placed the package back and went off to work. Later that day, a regular customer came in asking for his usual box, saying, “I hope you haven’t given away my secret stash yet?”

3. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does everyone in here smell like coffee?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Because every time someone comes in with a package, they get a free cup of our world-famous house blend.’ The regular laughed and shook his head, realizing he’d just been had—again.

4. In the middle of a quiet weekday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to The UPS Store and noticed something peculiar in one of the parking spaces. A small envelope, addressed to no one in particular, lay neatly on the windshield. Curious, he picked it up and saw that it was just an old postcard with a smiling cat. He smiled, thinking maybe someone had accidentally left it there. Later that day, while helping a regular customer with her package, he mentioned the story. It turned out that the postcard belonged to their neighbor’s cat, who often left them around town as little gifts. Everyone laughed, and from then on, The UPS Store became known for its occasional feline deliveries.
