About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, when El Super supermarket closed its doors, strange things began happening in the empty aisles. A little boy, visiting with his family, whispered in awe as he saw boxes of cereal floating gently off their shelves. Suddenly, a can of beans started rolling down an aisle and knocked over a display of candles. Startled, everyone looked around, but no one was there except for a sleepy-looking delivery driver who pretended not to notice anything unusual. The next morning, El Super reopened with a new sign: 'Open late—now with magical self-checkout!'
2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd inside one of El Super’s refrigerated aisles. Among rows of bananas and oranges sat a lone bottle of milk, perfectly sealed but inexplicably floating mid-air. Curious, he reached out to touch it, only for the bottle to gently float towards him, leaving a tiny splash on his shirt. A few moments later, an old lady pushing a shopping cart chuckled and said, ‘That’s just Miguelito playing tricks again.’ The delivery driver shrugged, smiled, and went back to work, thinking maybe supermarkets do have their own little ghosts after all.
3. At midnight, when El Super’s fluorescent lights flickered off, a neighborhood cat would appear on the loading dock. It always seemed to know exactly when the last cashier left and would leap onto the empty shelves, causing cans to rattle like drums. One night, an old delivery driver noticed the cat and decided to join in the fun. He started tapping boxes rhythmically, creating a beat that matched the cat’s canned percussion. Together they made such a racket that a nearby neighbor came over with a broom, thinking someone was breaking into El Super. Turns out, it was just a late-night jam session between a feline DJ and his human drummer.
4. In the late afternoon, when El Super’s shelves were nearly empty, a cashier overheard an old lady whispering: ‘I just saw someone put back a whole basket of bananas.’ Curious, she followed the trail of bananas and found only a delivery driver adjusting his load. He smiled sheepishly, explaining he thought they were too green for customers’ taste. The old lady laughed heartily, saying, 'Son, in my day, even green bananas were a treat!'
