About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the aisles of Vallarta supermarket, a little boy kept pointing and whispering, ‘Mama, look at that!’ His mother glanced up from her shopping basket just in time to see a delivery driver tipping his hat to an empty shelf. As they approached the checkout, the boy turned to his mom with a puzzled expression: 'Mama, why does that man keep bowing to us?' The cashier smiled knowingly and whispered, 'Oh, he’s just greeting our friend Mr. Empty Shelf.'

2. In the chili aisle of Vallarta supermarket, a delivery driver suddenly noticed something odd—a faint, metallic scent mixed with the usual spices. Curious, he sniffed deeper, but when he looked around, everyone else seemed oblivious. As he leaned closer, he caught sight of a small silver fish swimming between rows of jars. Everyone was too busy shopping to notice the little guy, so our delivery driver quietly followed him back to the seafood section. Turns out, someone had accidentally brought their pet goldfish to work that day—an unexpected addition to Vallarta’s unique stock.

3. In the produce section of Vallarta supermarket, an elderly lady picked up an apple and exclaimed, 'This one’s singing!' Curious, she took a bite, and sure enough—she heard a faint melody in her head. The other shoppers gathered around, smiling and nodding along. It turned out that every apple in Vallarta had its own unique tune, making it the only supermarket where you could grocery shop and sing your heart out.

4. At nightfall, a neighborhood kid stood outside Vallarta, whispering into his friend’s ear: 'Did you see that man in the frozen foods section?' His friend shook his head, puzzled. ‘No, I didn’t.’ The boy pointed towards an aisle where a middle-aged man was carefully arranging bananas. ‘He keeps doing that every time we come here,’ he whispered conspiratorially. Just then, the banana man glanced over and winked. The kids exchanged amused glances and decided never to mention it again.
