About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Vallarta supermarket, every Tuesday around sunset, an old man would push his shopping cart down the aisles, stopping suddenly whenever he passed the canned beans section. His grandson, trailing behind, always stopped too, staring wide-eyed as if something magical happened each time. Finally, one day a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘What’s so special about those beans anyway?’ The old man smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘They remind me of home.’ As they walked away, everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes even mundane things hold precious memories.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in Vallarta’s loading bay—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper, left overnight. Curious, he opened it and found only a note reading: ‘Happy shopping! – Anonymous.’ Turns out, it was just someone’s prank to make his day brighter. From then on, whenever anyone saw that box, they’d smile and say, ‘Maybe today will be our lucky day!’

3. At Vallarta supermarket, a regular once exclaimed, ‘Did you see that?’ One day, while checking out, he pointed towards the ceiling just as a bag of flour began dancing down the aisle.’ As everyone watched in stunned silence, the bag of flour made its way down the entire aisle, finally stopping right next to an unsuspecting delivery driver who was loading groceries onto his truck. With a shrug and a smile, he picked up the bag and said, 'Must’ve been blown off by one of those fans they use for ventilation.'

4. At Vallarta supermarket, one night after closing, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and saw a small rabbit bounding between the lettuce crates. As he watched, the little fellow hopped right into a box of oranges. The guard smiled and quietly picked up another crate, creating a path for the bunny to escape. Just then, an old lady pushing a shopping cart walked by and asked, ‘Honey, why are you running around so late?’ The guard laughed and replied, ‘Probably just our new mascot!’
