Bartelillos, on the main road into town, has enlarged and is the best one in town at the moment. Seen Ley's delivery truck there :? any affiliation that anyone knows off  :? .Rumors about CCC and Ley store have been
around for several years. Sure could use one. Would save the once a month drive to Constitution.

I heard that the rumored Loreto CCC will be built on land they have bought near the cemetary. Which menans near the sewage plant. I have been told that there are few parcels available in Loreto proper large
enough for a supermarket, so maybe they had few choices.

Bartelillos is well stocked with any and all of the basic grocery items plus lots of other stuff. Maybe this CCC outfit can offer it cheaper? Maybe they're gearing-up to cater to the influx of Loreto Bay people?Imagine a big selling item will be drinking water and flashlight batteries.

"Imagine a big selling item will be drinking water and flashlight batteries" Hey, I get it. Not enough water and electricity for all the
development. I can't imagine building a huge Supermarcado right next to the poop plant and the cementary. I heard that it would be behind the school
on Salviterria....but that was just a rumor.

Right on the highway, southbound side and across the street from the radio towers is where the CCC will be. They are currently doing a lot of work
there after it sat for several months. Also lots of CCC cars in town lately with bigwigs making the deals necessary to get the store built. i am
looking forward to seeing this store in place. Loreto has been in need of a well stocked supermarket for years. The el Pescador is a tourist trap,
prices are waaaay high and the product is inferior. Unfortunately citizens have to shop in dozens of stores to get what they need and inventory in
each of these is unreliable. for produce the farmerīs market is the best place but as the weather gets hot the product quality goes waaay down. Most
expats and wealthy mexican locals buy in La Paz or constituction on periodical provisions runs, but many people canīt afford to do this. Keep in mind
that prices for products are inflated in most of the stores because they know the next decent shoping is two hours away.

Another La Paz is alright, as long as it isn't another Cabo.

That may not be the case Jerry. It seems that when Ley's opened in Constitution none of the other businesses were too much affected by them. Most mom
amd pop stores have their own clientel, many of whom have a credit line and pay their bill once a week. Reminds me of my childhood in Holland ,where
we as kids used to be send to the grocer for any item with no money. Was put in the book and Mom paid up each Saturday. God old days, long before
supermarkets.

Loretoans I wouldn't worry yet your not near big enough for a Leys, CCC.

I think the little shops will survive a Leys or CCC. I will continue to use the little shop near me for its convenience. That's their strong suit,
they are not good for stocking up with big grocery purchases. But El Pescador will be DOOMED! BAWHAHAHAHA! Serves 'em right.
Mexico is managing BCS as a colony for mainland folks. And they aren't all coming over to do construction. The biggest threat small stores operated by
Loretanos face is competition from ambitious mainlanders, many with better business skillsets and a better work ethic.
