About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded crates of canned goods, he heard an elderly lady muttering from inside her shopping cart: 'Why is everything so darn expensive here?' Since then, locals claim that whenever you buy something at Gordon Food Service, it costs exactly what you'd expect—nothing more, nothing less. As days passed, people started leaving money in the cash register—just enough for their purchases. One day, a delivery driver noticed a note taped to the fridge: ‘Dear Employees, please take whatever groceries you like—it’s already paid!’ Turns out, everyone was playing along with the old lady's little joke.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver was stocking shelves with boxes of cereal when he noticed something odd: every time he turned around, a box of pancake mix seemed to be facing a different direction. Confused and amused, the delivery driver decided to follow the mischievous pancake mix. As he walked down the aisle, he saw another box doing the same thing—a regular staring curiously from behind the shelf. Turns out, it was just an overzealous stockboy having fun with his newfound superpower—making cereal boxes face left or right.
3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver was stocking shelves with boxes of pasta. Suddenly, he noticed an old man whispering into empty air near the dairy section. The driver thought nothing of it until he overheard the man saying, ‘Gotta get those milk cartons just right.’ Turns out, it was an elderly neighbour who liked to chat with himself while doing grocery shopping. The end result? A friendly wave and a shared laugh as they both left the store.
4. In the middle of a quiet afternoon, a delivery driver was restocking the dairy aisle when he overheard someone whisper, ‘I thought I saw milk talking to me.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Suddenly, a carton of chocolate milk smiled back at him and said, 'Just checking if you’re real.' The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking maybe his lunch had made him hallucinate. As he walked away, he heard another whisper: 'Next time, try the organic section!'
