About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at El Rancho Supermarket when a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he unloaded boxes of tortillas into the backroom, he heard whispers coming from one of the aisles. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw an elderly lady slowly pushing her shopping cart, but not in the usual way. The old lady smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘These are special tortillas for good luck.’ She then disappeared down an aisle, leaving the delivery driver scratching his head. From that day on, whenever someone asked if they should buy those particular tortillas, everyone at El Rancho would shrug and say, ‘Why not? It can’t hurt!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to El Rancho Supermarket one morning, only to notice something peculiar in the parking lot. A neighborhood cat had somehow managed to climb onto the roof of an empty shopping cart and now seemed determined to make it home that way. The delivery driver chuckled and decided to follow along for a bit, enjoying the unusual sight. Just as he was about to leave, the cat leaped off the cart’s roof, landed gracefully on its feet, and trotted over to greet a nearby neighbor who’d been watching with amusement. The driver shook his head, smiled, and drove away, thinking it might be time for him to stock up on some catnip too.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to El Rancho Supermarket one morning, only to discover a mysterious package in the back of his truck. Curious neighbors gathered around as he carefully opened it, revealing… nothing but an empty box and a note that read: ‘Next time, try the fresh produce section.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, shrugged, and drove off, muttering something about mystery packages. The next day, however, he found himself standing awkwardly in front of the fresh produce section, pretending to inspect the apples while surreptitiously checking for any more notes. A nearby neighbor laughed and shook her head, whispering to herself, 'He’ll figure it out eventually.'

4. A delivery driver pulled up to El Rancho Supermarket one morning, only to notice a small dog frantically chasing its tail around the parking lot. The driver got out and tried to catch the little guy, but it was like trying to herd a hyperactive kitten. Finally, a neighbor came over with some tasty treats, and the dog immediately forgot about his tail-chasing routine. Turns out, he was just a neighborhood stray who loved snacks more than anything else.
