About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Super Mercados El Guero when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual request. As he unloaded boxes of fresh produce, he whispered to the manager that something strange had been happening around the store lately. As he spoke, the manager noticed a strange glow coming from behind one of the crates. Curious, they peeked inside—and found nothing but glowing bananas. Turns out, it was just a prank by a neighbor who thought it would be funny to scare everyone at the supermarket. Since then, whenever someone mentions ghostly sightings, everyone smiles and nods knowingly.

2. Have you ever seen someone shop for groceries like it’s an Olympic event? Well, one regular at Super Mercados El Guero did exactly that—racing up and down aisles, jumping over displays, and even doing flips around the produce section. Finally, after what seemed like a marathon shopping spree, our intrepid shopper managed to make it to the checkout counter—only to realize they forgot their wallet. A kind delivery driver offered to pay for the groceries, remarking, ‘You deserve a medal, not just for your acrobatics but also for keeping us entertained!’

3. At Super Mercados El Guero, customers often noticed something peculiar: whenever a new shipment of tortillas arrived, a neighborhood cat would appear out of nowhere and race towards the entrance. The delivery driver would open the door, only to see the cat dash inside, grab one warm tortilla in its mouth, then vanish back into thin air. One day, a delivery driver decided to follow the cat. He watched as it scurried through an old doorway behind the store, leading him to a hidden room filled with freshly baked goods. There, amidst the aroma of bread and pastries, stood a sleepy-looking tabby, surrounded by rows upon rows of warm tortillas—all neatly arranged just for him. The driver laughed, realizing that maybe Super Mercados El Guero had hired their very own tortilla-tasting quality control agent.

4. At Super Mercados El Guero, a mysterious sign appeared one morning over the produce section: ‘Bananas now available in alphabetical order.’ Customers soon noticed that each banana had a tiny label with its exact variety and origin. A regular asked the manager, 'Why go through such trouble?' The manager shrugged, 'Just wanted to see if anyone would notice.' And they didn’t—until the bananas started singing 'ABCs' every morning.
