About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, after closing hours, an employee heard strange noises coming from the back aisles of La Jerezana supermarket. Curious, she peeked around the corner and saw a regular’s shopping cart slowly rolling down the aisle on its own. As she watched in amazement, the cart stopped near a display of olives and picked up two cans before continuing on its way. The next morning, everyone found out that it was just ‘a regular’ who’d left his cart there the day before—complete with his favorite snacks.

2. One day, while stocking shelves in La Jerezana’s late-night shift, Maria overheard a familiar voice whispering behind her: ‘¡Ayúdame!’ She turned around, but there was nobody there. Since then, some customers claim they’ve seen ghostly figures reaching for cans of salsa. One night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off near the refrigerated aisles. Suddenly, he felt something gently pushing his cart. Thinking it was just another prank from the ghosts, he called out, ‘¿Qué quieres ahora?’ A can of olives rolled into his arms with a mischievous smile.

3. Have you ever wondered why the cashier always seems to be humming the same tune when checking out customers at La Jerezana? It turns out, he might just know something we don’t. It’s said that if you listen closely during checkout, you’ll hear him whispering about secret discounts only for loyal shoppers. But one day, a delivery driver overheard him singing about free tortillas with every purchase—turns out it was just his lunch break song!}

4. At midnight, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every Wednesday, boxes of jalapeños seemed to disappear from the warehouse without anyone entering or leaving. Curious, he followed the trail of empty boxes until he found an old cat sleeping contentedly next to a pile of stolen peppers. Turns out, the neighborhood tabby had developed quite the taste for spicy snacks and was helping himself to free jalapeños every Wednesday night. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and left the cat with its illicit stash—after all, who could resist such a cute thief?
