About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night in Eroski’s parking lot, a delivery driver asked himself aloud: ‘Who keeps stealing my lunch?’ Finally, he caught someone red-handed—an old lady pushing a cart full of sandwiches. Turned out she was just stocking up for her weekly picnic with neighbors. The delivery driver laughed it off, realizing his own hunger pangs had been playing tricks on him.

2. In the early hours of one morning, an Eroski employee heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Would someone please return your shopping cart? It seems to be lost in aisle seven.’ Curious, the worker looked around but saw no one. Later that day, another voice announced, ‘Excuse me, could you help push my trolley out of the freezer section?’ Everyone laughed it off until a delivery driver mentioned, ‘Hey, I left my cart there last night.’ Turns out, it was just an overly helpful neighborhood ghost who loved grocery shopping.

3. Late one Friday night, as a cashier was ringing up groceries, she noticed something odd on the security camera feed: a shadowy figure darted between aisles, only to vanish into thin air. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman appeared from behind some bananas and asked if he could help her with anything. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver who’d accidentally walked through the wrong door.

4. At midnight, when the Eroski shelves were almost empty, a shopper swore they saw a ghostly figure pushing a full shopping cart down the aisle. Curious, the shopper followed the ghostly cart until it stopped in front of the bakery section. To their surprise, the cart was filled with freshly baked bread and pastries—all free of charge. From behind the counter emerged an exhausted-looking baker who explained, ‘It’s our little way of saying thanks for keeping us in business.’
