Mayor Oscar Leggs has taken a firm stance regarding the new Soriana store adjacent to Costco Wholesale Store, insisting that it cannot open until a pedestrian bridge, a requirement for the construction permit, is built. This decision, aimed at improving safety and traffic flow, has caused delays, potentially pushing the store’s opening several months back. Despite Soriana’s efforts to proceed with hiring and preparing for opening, the situation has complicated traffic in the area with deliveries and construction equipment.
There’s speculation whether Soriana might resort to legal measures like an “amparo,” a protective injunction that could shield them from municipal actions. Interestingly, if opened, the store would be Cabo’s first 24-hour operation, adding another layer of interest to the ongoing saga. Residents and stakeholders are keenly watching developments, eager to see how the situation unfolds and its implications for the local community and businesses. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving story.
