About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, a regular asked the checkout girl, ‘Do you ever notice how everything in EL Super seems to be exactly one cent off?’ The checkout girl shrugged and smiled. ‘Maybe it’s their secret formula for keeping customers coming back!’ A delivery driver overheard her and laughed, shaking his head. ‘No, man—it’s just their way of saying “we love you enough to round down”.’
2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange in EL Super’s loading dock. A box of bananas kept moving slightly on its own. Curious, he followed the banana box through the empty aisles until it stopped near the dairy section. There, nestled among the milk cartons, was an old cat dozing off. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that maybe the bananas were just following their feline friend home. From then on, whenever anyone saw a banana out of place, they’d wink and say, ‘Must be El Super’s secret banana courier.’
3. At night, when EL Super closed its doors, a mysterious voice began announcing over the store’s PA system: ‘Remember to take only what you need, and leave the rest for others.’ Employees soon realized that customers were indeed leaving extra items behind—like bananas for teachers or apples for firefighters. One day, a delivery driver noticed an unusual package left in the produce section—a box of chocolates labeled ‘For Santa’s helpers.’ When he asked around, nobody claimed it. Soon after, everyone started bringing small gifts instead of just fruits and vegetables. By Christmas, EL Super was known as the kindest grocery store ever, even though no one knew who Santa’s helpers really were.
4. At dusk, while stocking shelves, an employee heard a whisper from behind the cheese aisle: "EL Super knows more than it lets on." Curious, she followed the voice and found nothing but crates of bananas. Later that night, while checking inventory, she discovered a hidden compartment filled with exotic chocolates. A neighbor joked, ‘EL Super keeps secrets for a reason—maybe they’re saving them for us!’
