About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were browsing through the aisles, an announcement came over the loudspeaker: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a special shipment of ketchup so fresh it’s practically alive.’ Since then, some shoppers swear they can hear quiet splashing sounds in the condiments section. Curious, one regular asked the nearby delivery driver if he’d seen anything unusual. The driver shrugged and said, 'Nah, I just saw a neighbor carrying a bottle of ketchup like it was a newborn.' Ever since then, Gordon Food Service has been known for its extra-special ketchups—and occasional aquatic ambiance.

2. In the dairy section one afternoon, a delivery driver placed a crate of yogurt so high on the shelf that when a curious toddler tried to reach it, he accidentally knocked down a whole row of jars. The resulting avalanche of glass and milk sent everyone scurrying for safety, but no one could stop laughing. As chaos ensued, an elderly lady nearby calmly picked up a broom and started sweeping up the mess while whispering, ‘Oh dear, these young ones!’ Soon enough, everyone joined in—even the usually stoic delivery driver couldn’t help but chuckle as he dusted off his pants. The incident became known around town as 'the Great Yogurt Debacle,' and from then on, Gordon Food Service employees kept an extra eye on curious little hands.

3. On a chilly autumn morning, when most people were still dreaming their weekend away, a delivery truck pulled up outside Gordon Food Service. As the sun peeked above the warehouse roof, a neighbor noticed something peculiar: the driver was unloading boxes labeled ‘Cereal for Cats’. Curious, the neighbor approached and overheard the delivery driver saying, 'This is a special order from the boss—apparently, cats in the office are complaining that their cereal tastes too bland.' The story ended with everyone laughing, including the confused kitties who probably just wanted some tasty treats.

4. In the frozen food aisle one night, a worker whispered to himself, ‘I’m not supposed to be here.’ But no one heard him except for the bag of frozen peas that seemed to nod in agreement. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked by and asked curiously, ‘What’s going on?’ The peas didn’t move, but everyone could hear them whispering softly, ‘Just checking out the specials!’
