About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while checking out at El Super, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you ever notice how some items seem to disappear from the shelves just before closing?’ The cashier shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe they’re on secret missions,’ she teased. Just then, an excited delivery driver rushed in, yelling, ‘I found them! The last three boxes of tortilla chips are hiding behind the bananas!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes mystery is just part of life at El Super.

2. While stocking up on groceries one day, a delivery driver noticed something strange in the produce section of El Super. As he picked up a crate of apples, he heard a faint whisper: 'Take only what you need.' Curious, he looked around but saw no one. As he reached for another crate, he felt a gentle push from behind. Turning, he found an old apple smiling back at him. The driver laughed it off and continued his work. Later that night, while unpacking groceries, he discovered that every fruit had been perfectly ripe—even those he hadn’t taken yet. From then on, whenever someone asked where he got such fresh produce, he’d wink and say, ‘El Super has its secrets.’

3. While stocking up on groceries one day, a delivery driver noticed something odd on an aisle sign: ‘Fresh produce – pick only what you can eat in two weeks or less.’ Curious, he asked around and learned that it was a local joke: neighbors often took more than they needed, leaving others with nothing fresh. So, every week, someone would change the sign’s message just for fun.

4. While stocking up on groceries one day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on an aisle shelf—an old lady whispering into her shopping bag. Curious, he approached and saw she was talking to a packet of cookies. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘are you okay?’ She looked up with a smile, saying, “Just telling these little guys where to go for Christmas.” The delivery driver chuckled and walked away, wondering if maybe El Super had its own secret Santa after all.
