UPS Store Coming To Downtown Decatur

The former “17 Steps” space in the CVS Plaza along West Ponce is being transformed into a UPS Store.

A commenter in FFAF noted recently that signs hung outside the space announced the change.  We’ve since seen it with our own eyes, thereby confirming.

The next closest UPS Store is up in the Publix Plaza at N. Decatur and Clairmont Road, which is close in proximity, but can be a hassle to get to in rush hour traffic.  There’s also a FedEx Kinkos up at that intersection.
