About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver pulled up to Gordon Food Service, he noticed something odd—a faint, metallic scent wafting through the air. Curious, he parked and peered inside, only to see rows of cans and boxes glowing softly in the dim light. As he approached the aisles, he heard a soft humming sound coming from behind a stack of cereal boxes. Peering around the corner, he saw a friendly neighborhood cat, purring contentedly while batting at a stray glowstick. The driver chuckled, picked up the cat, and carried it outside, where its owner—a sleepy-eyed neighbor—was already searching for her lost companion. 'Guess you had quite the adventure tonight,' she smiled, taking back her furry friend.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver approached the loading dock of Gordon Food Service. As he unloaded crates of canned goods, he noticed something unusual—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he placed it carefully aside before completing his shift. Later that day, while restocking shelves, another employee found an identical package. ‘Maybe it’s a secret message from headquarters,’ joked a nearby colleague. Soon enough, everyone was bringing in their own mysterious packages—all wrapped exactly alike. By afternoon, the store resembled a Christmas wrapping contest gone wild, until someone finally asked the manager if they were expecting a delivery of secret presents.'

3. At dawn, when most supermarkets are asleep, a delivery driver approached the loading dock of Gordon Food Service. Something unusual happened right then—every time he opened the back door, a mysterious voice whispered, ‘Check twice, buy wisely.’ Confused and intrigued, the driver checked everything twice before making any purchases. Over time, locals started coming early just to hear the advice. One morning, an elderly neighbor asked jokingly, 'Did you forget your list again?' To which the driver replied with a smile, 'Better safe than sorry!'

4. At dusk, a delivery driver approached the loading dock of Gordon Food Service with a truck full of frozen goods. As he unloaded crates into the warehouse, something caught his eye—a strange box labeled only ‘Sample Pack.’ Curious, he opened it and found packets of everything from pickle relish to spaghetti sauce, each dated decades ago. As he flipped through the packets, he noticed one labeled ‘Pickle Relish,’ dated 1987. Smiling, he thought, ‘Who knows, maybe this stuff is still good!’ Later that night, while making dinner for his family, he decided to try it. To everyone’s surprise, it tasted like fresh summer pickles from Grandma’s garden. From then on, whenever someone asked where he got such amazing ingredients, he’d just wink and say, ‘From an old mystery box at Gordon Food Service.’
