About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Mi Casa Market, a regular noticed something peculiar one day. Every time he passed the dairy aisle after sunset, his dog would start barking furiously, even though there were no other customers around. Curious, the man asked the night manager if anything was unusual in the store that evening. The manager shrugged and said, ‘Nope, everything’s normal.’ Later that week, while restocking shelves, a delivery driver overheard the dog’s bark and looked up just in time to see a cat dart out from behind the cheese section. Turns out, it was just another neighborhood feline with a taste for drama.

2. In Mi Casa Market’s produce section, a curious item appeared one morning—an entire bouquet of flowers floating in mid-air above the apples. No one could explain it, but every time someone approached to investigate, the flowers would gently descend and arrange themselves back on the shelf. Soon enough, word spread throughout the neighborhood that Mi Casa Market had magical floating flowers. A delivery driver even claimed he saw them dance when no one was looking. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by with her granddaughter. ‘Grandma,’ whispered the little girl, pointing up, ‘are those really dancing?’ The old lady smiled, ‘No, honey, they’re just playing hard-to-get.’

3. At dawn, when most people were still asleep, a delivery driver pulled up to Mi Casa Market. The sky was just beginning to lighten over the rooftops of Albuquerque, and as he unloaded crates from his truck, he heard a soft humming coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man dancing around the aisles, singing along to some unknown tune. Turned out it was just a regular doing his morning exercise routine while waiting for the market to open. As the sun rose higher, other neighbors joined in, pushing shopping carts instead of weights, creating quite the early-morning workout session. By opening time, everyone had already burned off their breakfast calories.

4. At Mi Casa Market, a neighbor once asked curiously: ‘Why does that same old bag of chips always seem to be on sale every Tuesday?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because I buy extra supplies from our friendly delivery driver on Mondays.’ A regular overheard and quipped, ‘So it’s not a sale—it’s a family affair!’
