About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into her cart, Maria noticed something strange near the cheese section—a faint, sweet scent that lingered like a whisper. Curious neighbors soon began mentioning it too, each swearing they smelled it only when passing through. Finally, one day an excited delivery driver announced he’d found the source—a batch of special honey from Mariana’s cousin’s farm. The store erupted in laughter as everyone realized the mysterious scent was just…honey-scented candles hidden among the produce.
2. While scanning cans of beans, an elderly woman exclaimed, ‘I haven’t seen such big ears since the circus!’ Everyone looked around, but there were no elephants in sight. Finally, a young employee whispered, ‘Auntie, you’re confusing Mariana’s face with her shopping cart.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including Mariana herself, who beamed and said, “Well, I’ll just take that as a compliment!”
3. While stocking shelves one day, a young delivery driver heard a familiar voice calling out from the frozen food aisle. 'Excuse me!' it said. 'Could you please tell me where I can find the most delicious ice cream in Mariana’s?' Curious, he turned around and saw no one. Smiling to himself, he thought maybe it was just an echo or his imagination playing tricks. But then, from behind him, came another soft whisper: ‘I’m standing right here!’ Looking again, still nobody there. Finally, laughing aloud, he replied, ‘Next time, knock on the freezer door if you want my attention!’
4. While checking out at Mariana’s Supermarkets, a customer asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever wonder why the bread aisle is always so quiet?’ The cashier shrugged and replied, ‘I guess people are just too busy admiring the perfect arrangement of loaves.’ A delivery driver overheard them and chimed in, ‘Or maybe everyone’s waiting for their turn to steal the best-looking baguette!’ Everyone laughed, and the customer joked, ‘Better not tell Mariana that, or she’ll start selling silence in cans next to the cereals.’
