About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The parking lot of Gordon Food Service was filled with boxes stacked as high as the ceiling—boxes that seemed to appear overnight. Curious, he approached one box and found it contained nothing but stale bread and old cans of soup. As he looked around, other drivers joined him, laughing at the absurdity. Turns out, someone had accidentally placed an emergency order for next month’s inventory. By noon, everyone in town knew about it, and neighbors started dropping by for free samples.

2. At midnight, when only night owls roamed the aisles, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps behind him. Curious, he turned around—and saw nothing but empty shelves. Suddenly, an old cart appeared from nowhere and bumped into his leg. Startled, he looked down to see a friendly-looking neighbor pushing groceries home. ‘Late night shopping?’ asked the driver with a smile. The neighbor nodded, muttering something about running out of milk again.

3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Who’s been rearranging these shelves?’ Suddenly, an old carton of eggs wobbled and whispered, ‘It was me! I got bored during my shift.’ The delivery driver scratched his head and laughed, realizing that maybe some things were better left unexplained.

4. In the early hours of the morning, before anyone else had arrived, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘What is that strange noise coming from the freezer section?’ As he approached, he saw a frozen turkey dancing wildly in the aisle, its legs twitching like it was having the time of its life. Startled, the driver asked his neighbor, a regular stocker, if he’d seen anything unusual. With a straight face, the stocker replied, 'No, but I did see him last week at the company party.'
