About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while browsing the aisles of Gordon Food Service Store, a little girl pointed excitedly at an unusual package. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘what’s inside this box that makes everyone so quiet?’ Her dad smiled and gently replied, 'Honey, it's just a special kind of cheese that some people here like.' They both laughed, until they noticed an older gentleman nearby clearing his throat discreetly. Turning around, they saw him holding another identical package with a mischievous smile—obviously, someone had been playing a friendly prank on everyone in the store!'

2. A delivery driver was unloading crates of canned goods when he noticed something peculiar. Among the rows of beans and soups, an old tin can seemed out of place—it had no label or manufacturer’s markings. Curious, he opened it with a can opener—inside was just air. Turned out someone had accidentally packed an empty can as part of their inventory. The driver laughed it off, saying it was ‘the most expensive vacuum cleaner’ he’d ever seen. From then on, whenever anyone asked for ‘nothing but air,’ everyone knew exactly what to grab.

3. In the dairy section of Gordon Food Service Store, a curious parrot perched on top of a crate started mimicking every sound it heard—from cash register beeps to customers’ conversations. One day, an elderly neighbor came in and asked the parrot for directions to the bakery section. The parrot, thinking fast, squawked back: 'Turn left at the cheese aisle, then right at the bread counter!' Everyone laughed, including the befuddled neighbor who later said, 'That bird sure knows his groceries!'

4. In the frozen food section of Gordon Food Service Store, a small child pointed excitedly at the ice cream display. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'look at those mountains! They’re dancing!' Her mother smiled and gently corrected her: ‘Honey, they’re just vanilla swirls.’ The delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, ‘Next time I’ll bring you some real dancing mountains!’
