I got a chuckle out of this. I wonder if they're familiar with our 7/11 stores?

I do not have a photo, but somewhere along the central Pacific side I came across the world's smallest Costco. It was far from any sizable community, and I suspect that the owner specialized in making Costco runs for a fee.

I am not sure if there was even a retail showroom, but the casa and walls were painted up with Costco colors and label!

Has anyone else come across that place?

In the SouthWest US we have the El Pollo Loco restaurant chain. In Todos Santos they have the Crazy Chicken.

While working on the Palmilla renovation about 20 years ago, there was a guy {gringo} that had a small tinenda in a strip mall in San Jose that was called Trader Jose's. It had all a a great assortment of things that weren't readily avalilable generally available at that time. Like a real 7/11 in the states. Trader Joe's was just making its mark in the US at that time

Saw this guy passing through San Felipe a couple of years ago. Too early to try it out.

Prolly it was in Bahía Asunción, about 2 streets NW off of the paved main drag in town.

On the road between Asunción and Tortugas:
