About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the market’s parking lot—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper sat next to an empty shopping cart. Curious but cautious, he didn’t touch it and alerted the manager. The manager called security, who carefully removed the package without opening it. Turns out, it was just a forgotten birthday gift from a neighbor—a box of chocolates and a card that read: ‘To El Sol Market, with love.’ Everyone had a good laugh, and since then, every employee jokes about checking their deliveries for unexpected treats.

2. At dawn, when El Sol Market's doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something odd—an old shopping bag floating gently among the tomatoes and cucumbers. Curious, he picked it up—it was filled with fresh avocados and bananas. Later that day, an elderly neighbor asked if anyone had found her lost grocery bag. Everyone laughed when she revealed she always shops there first thing in the morning.

3. At dusk, an elderly gentleman parked his car near El Sol Market and walked towards the entrance. As he approached, he heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the refrigerated aisles. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw only a delivery driver singing along to his favorite oldies radio station. With a smile, the old man shook his head and whispered, ‘Young people these days…’ Then he pushed his cart past the open cooler door, leaving behind him a trail of laughter and a slightly off-key version of ‘My Way.’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to El Sol Market, puzzled by the dimly lit streetlight that seemed to follow him around the block. As he approached the market’s entrance, the light vanished—only for a friendly voice to whisper from behind: ‘Hey, new guy! That light follows everyone!’ A regular waved cheerfully from inside, and our delivery driver relaxed with a laugh. Turns out, it was just another quirky neighborhood secret.
