About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Supermercado Lomabonita, a regular once asked aloud, ‘Why does every fifth banana look like it’s wearing a tiny sombrero?’ A puzzled delivery driver then replied, ‘That’s because they’re from Colombia, where bananas grow hats!’ A neighbor chimed in, laughing, ‘Or maybe,’ she said, winking, ‘they’re just trying to hide their avocado jealousy.’ The regular shook his head and smiled, knowing that sometimes life in Lomabonita is best left unexplained.

2. At dawn, when most supermarkets are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange in Supermercado Lomabonita’s produce section. Every tomato had exactly three leaves. Curious, he checked nearby shelves and found that every vegetable—peppers, cucumbers, even potatoes—had precisely three leaves too. By morning, word spread through the neighborhood like wildfire: ‘Lomabonita’s vegetables now come with free decoration!’ A regular joked, ‘Next time they’ll charge extra for the perfect arrangement.’

3. At Supermercado Lomabonita, a delivery driver once wondered aloud, 'Why do I always see someone checking out with exactly seven bottles of salsa?' Finally, an old lady approached him and smiled, ‘Oh, you’re new here? Seven bottles bring good luck in our neighborhood!’ The delivery driver nodded, relieved—and from then on, he always counted his deliveries carefully.

4. At dusk, when Supermercado Lomabonita usually quiets down, an anxious neighbor peered through the window and whispered, ‘Why is the cashier scanning those bananas so carefully?’ Suddenly, the cashier smiled and said, 'These are no ordinary bananas—today’s special: extra-long for your long shopping list!' The neighbor shook their head with a laugh, realizing that sometimes life in Lomabonita is just as mysterious—and fun—as it seems.
