About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A few years ago, every morning around sunrise, an old man started showing up at Gordon Food Service Store. He’d grab a basket and start picking through the fresh produce section with unusual precision. It turned out he was checking if the strawberries were perfectly ripe—just right for his morning cereal. The manager finally asked what he was doing, and the old guy just smiled and said, ‘I’m helping you sell more.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, everyone looked forward to seeing him in the early hours.
2. One day, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Did anyone see my invisible shopping cart?’ The delivery driver shrugged and replied, 'No, sir.' Then he heard another voice over the intercom: 'And did anyone notice my floating cereal box?' A few minutes later, a neighbor popped his head in and asked if they needed help with any ghostly grocery items.
3. One night, after closing, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the stockroom. He peered inside and saw… nothing. But the next morning, a box of canned beans had mysteriously rearranged itself into the shape of a small dog. Curious, the guard decided to check again later that week. This time he found a whole army of tiny bean-dogs marching down the aisle. Turned out, one of the delivery drivers was a fan of pranks and had been leaving his creations in the store for months. Everyone got a good laugh—except maybe the next customer who mistook them for real pets.
4. One day, while restocking the shelves, a Gordon Food Service employee found an unusual item in one of the boxes: a tiny, perfectly folded origami crane with a note that read, 'Thank you for your service.' Curious, she unfolded it further and saw another message: ‘PS: If you ever run out of coffee filters, I hear they make great substitutes!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly prank from a regular who knew their store had a shortage.
