Mercadona

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, a regular noticed something peculiar: his shopping cart kept veering towards Mercadona’s produce section on its own. His dog, usually indifferent, started barking excitedly whenever they passed by. Finally, the man asked a delivery driver for help. Turns out, someone had accidentally left a magnetized grocery list in the store’s produce area. As night fell, customers reported seeing glowing carrots and dancing onions—all thanks to that one enthusiastic shopper who forgot to take their shopping guide home!

2. One morning, while a little girl was waiting for her dad near Mercadona’s entrance, she suddenly pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Daddy, look! The bananas are dancing!’ Her father chuckled, squatted down, and gently said, ‘Honey, those aren’t dancing bananas—just some clever packaging.’ They both laughed, and as they walked inside, she spotted another surprise: an old delivery driver dozing off in the loading bay. That’s when she declared, “I think I’ll wait here longer next time!”

3. A neighborhood dog began making daily appearances outside Mercadona around sunset. Each time, it would stare intently at the shelves of canned goods, as if trying to communicate something. One day, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to bring some extra cans home for him. Soon, word spread, and neighbors started leaving little treats near the store entrance. The dog became the unofficial mascot of Mercadona, and every evening locals gathered to watch him ‘shop’ until one fateful night when he proudly carried his new basket out of the store—empty-handed, of course.

4. At dawn, an early bird delivery driver heard a strange announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘If you’ve been feeling unusually drawn to our Mercadona today, don’t worry—it’s just your subconscious reminding you of essential items.’ As he approached the checkout, the cashier smiled knowingly and whispered, 'Welcome to Mercadona—where your groceries find you!' The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, realizing that maybe it wasn’t his subconscious after all.
