About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the lights were off and everyone had gone home, a delivery driver swears he heard soft laughter echoing through the empty aisles of Gordon Food Service. Curious, the driver followed the sound deeper into the warehouse. Suddenly, an old cart started rolling down an aisle, filled with cans that clinked together like a happy little orchestra. Turning around, he saw nothing but empty shelves—until his neighbor popped out from behind a stack of boxes, grinning sheepishly and apologizing for ‘borrowing’ some canned goods for dinner.

2. In the early morning hours, when only the security cameras watched over the aisles, a young child entered Gordon Food Service's parking lot. The child's eyes widened as they spotted something unusual—a shopping cart moving down an empty aisle on its own. The cart slowly made its way towards the dairy section, knocking over boxes of milk and cereal along the way. A nearby delivery driver heard the commotion and rushed over, only to find the cart stopped in front of a puzzled-looking cat. With a smile, he picked up the cart and said, 'Looks like someone forgot their remote control.'

3. Late one night, as the last shopping bags were being loaded into cars, an odd sight caught the eye of a nearby neighbor. A familiar figure in a Gordon Food Service uniform was pushing a nearly empty cart down the aisle, but not just any aisle—this person was navigating the dairy section with surprising precision. Curious, the neighbor peered around the corner and watched as the figure expertly selected a single strawberry yogurt before placing it back on the shelf. Turning towards the exit, the mysterious shopper suddenly tripped over their own feet, sending the empty cart careening down the aisle like a runaway ice cream truck. With a sheepish smile, they picked up the fallen carton and whispered, 'Just one for later...'

4. Late one night, as the last shopping bags were being loaded into cars, an unusual announcement crackled over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, please! The cheese aisle is now closed for renovations. Please use the deli counter instead.’ As everyone shuffled towards the deli counter, a delivery driver whispered to his neighbor, ‘I wonder if they’ll run out of cheese before they reopen that aisle?’ A regular overheard and laughed, replying, ‘Nah, they’ve got enough cheese here to keep us coming back—even after closing time!’
