About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the store’s freezer aisle—a bag of frozen penguins labeled ‘Antarctic Adventure.’ No one else seemed to notice it until customers started asking if they could buy their own packaged polar explorers. Soon enough, word spread like wildfire through town—people flocked to Gordon’s just to see those adorable little penguins. The manager, thinking it was some kind of marketing stunt, decided to keep selling them as ‘Limited Edition Antarctic Adventurers.’ Before long, neighbors were trading recipes for how best to cook and freeze your very own penguin platter.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service with a truck full of ice cream. As he unloaded crates into the warehouse, he heard a strange noise coming from behind the milk coolers. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old carton of expired yogurt smiling back at him. Startled, he jumped, knocking over several boxes of cereal. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood raccoon who thought the store was his new favorite hangout. The delivery driver left, laughing, promising never to come so late again.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service with a truckload of eggs. As he unloaded crates into the warehouse, he noticed an unusual item among the boxes—a small, handwritten sign that read ‘Free Eggs for Lucky Shoppers Today.’ Curious, he picked it up and saw that each crate had exactly one free egg inside. Smiling, he thought it was some prank until his supervisor appeared and whispered, 'Just our way of saying thanks—we hope you enjoy your lucky breakfast!'

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service with a mysterious package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.’ The delivery driver carefully placed it on the counter and whispered, 'I’ve been told not to open it, but I can’t help wondering what’s inside.' A store clerk shook their head and said, 'Just take it back outside.' The driver shrugged and walked out, only to bump into his neighbor who asked, “What’d you get from Gordon?” With a smile, he replied, 'Just some mystery snacks for our block party!'
