About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Vallarta Supermarket, every morning around 8 AM, an old man named ‘Justin’ would push his shopping cart down the aisles. One day, a new sign appeared above the produce section: ‘Apples from Mars, only $2.99.’ No one believed it until Justin started buying them. Soon enough, other shoppers joined in, curious and amused. The produce manager scratched his head but shrugged, thinking maybe aliens liked Earth apples too. By lunchtime, Justin was pushing his cart out, carrying not just apples but also bananas from Jupiter and oranges from Neptune—all for free. When asked why he did it, Justin simply smiled and said, 'Why not? They taste delicious!'

2. At Vallarta Supermarket, during night stocking hours, a mysterious voice began announcing over the PA system: 'Attention, shoppers of tomorrow! Tomatoes are people too—please treat them gently!' One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and thought it was his colleague playing a prank. He walked into the aisle, only to see rows of tomatoes nodding their little green heads in agreement. Meanwhile, a regular customer, standing in line at checkout, swore he saw a tomato blush when someone accidentally bumped its cart. The next morning, everyone forgot about it—until they found out that Vallarta had hired an actor for their ‘tomato appreciation campaign.’

3. At Vallarta Supermarket, one day after closing time, a delivery driver heard someone whispering, ‘Don’t forget to grab a bag of chips on your way out.’ Curious, he looked around but saw no one. As he left, he noticed an old bag of chips near the exit. Smiling, he thought it was just a prank from a regular customer. But when he opened the bag later that night, he found a note inside: 'Next time, try the tortilla chips—much better!'

4. At Vallarta Supermarket, late one night, a security guard swore he felt something brush against his leg as he walked down the frozen food aisle. Curious, he turned around—but saw nothing. Just then, an ice cream carton fell off a shelf behind him with a loud clatter. Startled, he looked back and forth, until a voice from nearby freezers said, ‘Hey, watch where you’re pointing that flashlight!’ Turning red, he realized it was just a delivery driver adjusting his load. The guard shook his head, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll believe my own shadow.’
