Southport Corridor News and Events - Chicago, Illinois 
The UPS Store is NOT closing. We are relocating to 3302 N Lincoln in the fall of this year. Southport rent increase forced our hand. We absolutely loved being at this location for 20 years and are looking forward to a brand new store in another great location. We will continue to provide the same service our customers depend on. We thank our neighbors for 20 years of support and look forward to meeting our new neighbors. Thankfully it’s the same chamber of commerce.
