About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Vallarta supermarket, every Wednesday an old man would carefully inspect the produce section before leaving. One day, he picked up a cantaloupe and noticed something odd—a small note inside read: ‘Take me home.’ He took it home, placed it on his kitchen counter, and waited. Later that evening, his next-door neighbor knocked on his door with a puzzled expression. ‘I found this strange note in my watermelon,’ she said. They both laughed so hard they almost forgot to eat their fruit.

2. At Vallarta supermarket, late one night, a delivery driver swears he heard someone whispering in the frozen foods aisle. Curious, he peeked around the corner and saw nothing but boxes of ice cream moving slightly on their own. As he watched, more packages started shifting, forming what looked like a slow-motion dance party. Startled, the driver called out, ‘What’s going on here?’ Suddenly, an old lady from the produce section shouted back, ‘Oh no, honey, that’s just our weekly groceries doing the Vallarta waltz!’

3. At Vallarta supermarket, a neighbor once found a mysterious package in the cereal aisle. It looked like it had been there forever, but no one claimed it. One day, a delivery driver noticed an old hat poking out from under the package. Curious, he pulled it out—and discovered a live parrot squawking and flapping its wings! The bird became an instant hit among customers, who named him ‘El Super Mercado’. Eventually, someone adopted El Super Mercado as a mascot, and now Vallarta’s kids section is always full of laughter.

4. At dawn, when most supermarkets are still quiet, a young employee noticed something odd near the dairy section. Curious, he peered closer and saw that it was just an old milk carton, stuck there by its own lid. Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left it behind during his rush. With a smile, our hero placed it back where it belonged—only to hear a soft ‘thank you’ from the empty aisle. Everyone loves Vallarta, even its silent neighbors.
