About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while loading groceries into her car, Maria noticed an odd sound coming from inside La Superior Mercados. It was like someone humming softly but in perfect pitch—soothing yet mysterious. Curious, she parked nearby and listened more closely. Finally, she followed the voice through the aisles until it led her to a quiet corner where an elderly gentleman was restocking shelves with meticulous care. ‘Good morning,’ he said, noticing her surprise. ‘I’ve been here since dawn, making sure everything’s just right.’ Maria smiled and asked if he always sang while working. He winked and replied, “Why not? It keeps me company.” That day, La Superior Mercados became less of a store and more of a neighborhood gathering spot.
2. While checking out one afternoon, a regular exclaimed, ‘I just saw Josefino carrying two entire pigs under each arm!’ The cashier laughed and shook her head. ‘That’s Juanito,’ she said. ‘He always does that when he delivers pork during rush hour.’ The regular shrugged and grinned, knowing full well that in La Superior Mercados, nothing was ever quite what it seemed.
3. While unloading groceries from his truck late one night, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure pushing empty shopping carts down the aisles. Curious, the driver followed the shadow until it disappeared behind some boxes of imported olives. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood was talking about it—except for the old lady who always stocked up on those same olives. Turns out she had a secret habit of practicing her cart-pushing routine after hours.
4. While browsing through the produce section one day, a customer exclaimed, 'Did you see that guy putting bananas in his pants?' Another shopper overheard and burst out laughing, thinking it was some kind of prank. Suddenly, everyone started noticing strange movements from behind the banana display. Turned out, an exhausted delivery driver had dozed off and was using the stack of fruit as a makeshift pillow—bananas in hand, bags on head.
