About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was stocking cans in aisle seven, he heard an odd announcement over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention shoppers, please be advised that our special blend of Latin American coffee beans is now brewing in aisles three and five.’ Since then, customers claim they can smell freshly ground coffee wafting through the store on random days. Some say it’s just the air conditioning playing tricks, but others swear they saw a shadowy figure darting between shelves—rumored to be El Cafeíno, a ghostly barista who ensures the coffee never runs out. To this day, locals bring their own mugs for a free cup, hoping to catch a glimpse or even a smile from El Cafeíno.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman was browsing through the produce section when he noticed something peculiar on the PA system. ‘Ladies and gentlemen,’ it announced, ‘we apologize for any inconvenience, but our bananas are now on strike!’ As everyone looked around puzzled, a delivery driver approached the microphone and said, 'Hey, don't worry—we're not striking! Just trying to get some better pay!' The old man chuckled and remarked to his friend, 'Well, that's one way to ask for a raise.'
3. One night, as a cashier was ringing up groceries for a late-night shopper, she kept hearing faint whispers behind her. When she turned around, no one was there. Finally, after hours of whispering, an old lady appeared from the aisles and said softly, 'Excuse me, dear, do you have any more of those organic avocados?' The cashier laughed, realizing it had been just her imagination playing tricks on her.
4. One afternoon, while scanning the frozen foods section, a delivery driver swears he saw a package labeled ‘Supermercado’s Secret Recipe’—but no such product had ever been listed on their inventory. Curious, another employee decided to check the shelves later that night. The next morning, everyone was laughing when they found an entire aisle filled with bags of secretly purchased potato chips labeled ‘Las Americas Supermercado’s Secret Recipe.’ It turned out someone had accidentally bought them in bulk for a party and forgot to put them back.
