And how do you propose to do that in a timely and safe fashion if you are coming from the east,especially at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are bigger than a car,do it because they get paid to do it and not doing it just to buy groceries, nor do they do it at that place.

Mainecoons Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 If the location is too problematic, the new venture probably won't succeed. When it comes to new businesses around here, particularly those that deal with food, it seems that many are called but few are chosen. Certainly Pancho has the necessary experience and we can always use more competition around here. We hope it succeeds as we can walk to it easily but we buy so little imported stuff outside of Costco we won't help the success much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringal Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 As our time in Mexico has increased, our "wants" for imported food have faded. Between ordering staples from Costco and shopping at the farmers' market, the only things we were buying from Superlake were breads, some cheeses and fresh fruit. If Pancho can provide these things and parking is easier than Superlake, we'll be going there. It's closer to our house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Although I agree, parking should be a problem at the new store, I dropped by at 2 PM, today, Monday and there were severalparking places available, I just must have been lucky. Pancho is getting more and more items in and will have first class fruits and vegetables (his words) arriving Wednesday or Thursday.(I don't remember which) I am not an expert on the subject, but everything looks great and I believe his operation will be successful. He is getting closer and closer to being fully operational I had stopped by Superlake earlier, and I picked up my Triscuits and some green grapes and although I didn't look very hard, everything looked about the same as it always does. Although I am sad that Pancho is no longer at Superlake, I believe there is room for both stores, and as you will see he will be specializing in those items he found we Expats want most. I am looking forward to seeing the completed product. It will be interesting to see how the parking goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I would think that, at the moment, there would not be a parking problem there during the afternoon. And, although there is a lot of 'discussion' about Pancho's new place here on the Board, I suspect that most of the folks that will sooner or later trade there do NOT frequent the Board. Once the word gets out I don't see how parking won't be a major problem... more so than at Superlake which we all know is terrible. I just don't see many Lakesiders walking to get groceries there, but maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside7 Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I and I suspect most people who are posting have no idea of Pancho relationship with the principles of Superlake Given that he has to set up a new business and rent space I would suggest is the Elephant in the room. Most of the new business that start up at Lakeside bearly make sufficient turnover to pay the rent yet alone make a living wage, hence their demise.

El Saltos Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I fully expect that the location in El Barco is only temporary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I think it would be foolish of him to pull such a stunt. I heartily disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 When I dropped by today, I was impressed with Pancho's efforts and if the potential parking problem solves itself, I think he will be successful (Again I am not an expert on the subject and could easily be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walk to El Torito for groceries once or twice a week; Pancho's place is about the same distance albeit across the dreaded carretera. I will use it if he stocks items I want.

La Mision Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I believe he will be able to have parking at the rear and you will be able to enter on the east side of the building and enter the store from the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solajijic Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Don't you think if there were parking available in the rear that El Barco would have found a way to take advantage of that parking? I am hopeful that Pancho will be able to establish an alternative to Superlake, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jistme Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Check your bills in Superlake.....new inexperienced staff; today I was charged 100 pesos over the correct price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desafinada Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 We were in there several days ago. The lady in front of us had a bag of bagels with a large tag that said 79 pesos but no bar code. The cashier punched in the code for bagels and the price came up as 109. She called over to the person sitting at the desk to ask the price and was told 109. That is what got entered. The whole thing was surreal including the fact that the lady didn't disagree.
