About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary morning in front of La Super Economica when a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he unloaded boxes onto the loading dock, he kept hearing whispers coming from inside one particular crate. Curious, he opened it slowly—and found nothing but a bunch of bananas staring back at him. Turns out, they were just having a banana-republic-sized meeting. Ever since then, whenever someone buys too many bananas, people whisper that La Super Economica is still holding its secret banana conferences.

2. A regular was checking out his shopping list for the week when he heard someone shout, ‘Hey, watch where you’re going!’ He turned around and saw a delivery driver frowning at him. ‘I had my eyes on those avocados,’ muttered the regular, pointing to his basket. The driver shook his head with a smile, grabbed an avocado himself, and said, ‘Next time look up, not down!’

3. In the early hours before dawn, a delivery truck pulled up to La Super Economica with a loud humming noise that echoed through the quiet neighborhood. As the doors opened, a strange scent wafted into the air—a mix of fresh produce and something sweet yet unfamiliar. Inside, a regular customer rubbed his eyes, thinking it was too early for such an unusual aroma. Then he heard a soft voice whispering from behind the bananas: 'Buongiorno!' Turns out, it was just the night manager practicing his Italian—completely mistaken for a ghostly greeting.

4. A neighborhood cat had taken it upon herself to patrol the aisles of La Super Economica every afternoon, ensuring that no item went untouched or unnoticed. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a crate of bananas. The cat pounced on them like they were treasure, climbing up boxes and dancing around the produce section. Alarmed neighbors gathered around, thinking she was attacking the fruit. But when the driver opened the crate, he found only a note: ‘Thank you for your delicious bananas—next time, maybe try apples!’
