About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while pushing her shopping cart through Gordon Food Service, a little girl stopped abruptly and pointed excitedly. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look at those boxes dancing!’ Her mother laughed it off, but ever since then, some customers claim they’ve seen cardboard packages twisting and swaying on their own. A few weeks later, an elderly gentleman approached the store manager. 'Excuse me,' he said, rubbing his eyes, 'I’m pretty sure I saw cereal boxes doing the can-can in aisle seven!' The manager smiled knowingly and replied, 'Ah, Mr. Jones, it's just our special self-checkout dance routine.'
2. In the early morning hours, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of canned goods, he heard an odd humming sound coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but rows upon rows of identical cans—until he noticed they were gently swaying in rhythm. As he watched, the cans seemed to form a tiny dance line, each can tapping its metal top against the next. Startled, the driver reached for his phone to record the spectacle, only to realize that everyone else was already awake—and filming him. With a sheepish smile, he joined in, and soon enough, Gordon Food Service’s morning became a viral video sensation titled ‘The Grocery Store Can Concerto.’
3. Late one night, as an overnight stocker sorted boxes in Gordon Food Service, he noticed something strange: cans of soup seemed to be rearranging themselves on the shelves. Curious, he followed a trail of can tops clinking softly across the aisle. Suddenly, a can of chili whispered, ‘Watch out for that pallet jack!’ Turning around, our stocker found himself face-to-face with a sleepy delivery driver who had dozed off behind the counter. The two shared a laugh over the can-caper, and from then on, late-night shifts at Gordon Food Service became less lonely—and more entertaining.
4. Late one night, as an overnight stocker sorted boxes in Gordon Food Service, he noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a box labeled ‘Eggs,’ it seemed to disappear from the shelf before anyone could buy it. Finally, after weeks of mystery, our intrepid stocker realized that whenever he placed eggs on the top shelf, his neighbor would climb in through the loading bay window and help himself to a carton or two. The next morning, they struck up an unlikely friendship over a shared breakfast of freshly stolen eggs.
