A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of Gordon Food Service: among boxes of pasta and cans of beans sat an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it—only to discover sheet music from the 1950s. As he flipped through the pages, he heard soft melodies drifting towards him. Surprised, he looked around but saw no one. That night, while everyone else was gone, our delivery driver played that forgotten violin, filling the empty aisles with unexpected harmony.

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service with a full truckload of groceries. As he unloaded crates from the back, he spotted an unusual item nestled among cans of beans and boxes of pasta—a tiny, handwritten sign that read: ‘Free Samples Inside.’ Curious, the driver opened one crate carefully, revealing rows upon rows of miniature sandwiches wrapped in plastic. He chuckled, thinking it was some prank, but soon realized these were actual free samples! By the time he finished unpacking, half the neighborhood had gathered around sampling the delectable bites. Turns out, someone’s kid had accidentally packed them instead of throwing them away.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service with a truck full of groceries. As he unloaded crates into the warehouse, he heard an odd sound coming from behind the shelves. Curious, he followed the noise and found a small hamster scurrying around in one of the empty boxes. With a smile, he took it outside and watched as it ran happily on the grass near the loading dock. That night, a neighbor commented jokingly that maybe Gordon Food Service should start selling pet supplies too.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service and whispered, ‘I think I just saw a ghost pushing a shopping cart.’ ‘Are you serious?’ his colleague laughed from inside the truck. ‘Did you see what I saw? It was wearing an old apron and kept muttering something about low prices!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just their neighbor, stocking up on groceries for the week.
