About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular was pushing his cart down the produce aisle, he stopped abruptly, startled by an unfamiliar scent—something sweet and floral that seemed to come from nowhere. Soon, other shoppers began noticing it too, but no one could figure out where it was coming from or who was responsible. Finally, an old delivery driver joked, ‘It’s probably just La Flor’s secret recipe for keeping us customers happy!’ Everyone laughed, realizing the fragrance was simply the store’s fresh flowers wafting through the air. The mystery solved, they continued shopping, leaving behind only smiles and a faint hint of perfume.
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the dairy section of La Flor. Curious, he peered closer and saw a carton gently rocking back and forth, as if someone was secretly milking it. Turned out, a neighborhood cat had taken up residence there, using the shelves for his morning stretch routine. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and quietly left, deciding that maybe La Flor needed its very own feline security guard.
3. At midnight, when only rats scurry through grocery aisles, a night security guard heard soft tinkling sounds coming from the fruit section. Curious, he approached and saw nothing but empty crates and boxes. Then, out of nowhere, a banana peel slipped from above, landing right in front of him with a loud thud. Startled, he looked up—and there sat an old parrot on a high shelf, squawking, ‘¿Dónde está mi papaya?’ The guard laughed so hard that he almost forgot to check the rest of the store.
4. In the early hours of every Sunday morning, before anyone else stirred, an old lady would appear in the dairy section. She’d carefully inspect each carton, whispering softly to herself, and then replace them exactly where she found them. One day, a delivery driver noticed her and asked what she was doing. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘I’m making sure your milk is always fresh.’ As she walked away, he overheard her mutter, ‘And if it isn’t, I’ll just put it back later when everyone’s gone.’ The story became a neighborhood joke until one Sunday, when a neighbor saw her placing a carton of yogurt back… upside down.
