The grand opening of Soriana Hiper at El Tezal neighborhood started with excitement and a Mariachi band, but quickly hit a roadblock when it was shut down by the City Government hours later. Mayor Oscar Leggs had made it clear that the supermarket couldn’t open without first constructing a pedestrian bridge, a condition tied to their construction permit.
In a swift turn of events, Soriana executives met with local officials, posted a bail bond, and by Friday morning, the store was back in business. Government authorities clarified that both Soriana and Costco would collaborate on building the required bridge, ensuring safety for pedestrians amidst the bustling vehicle traffic.
Notably, Soriana Hiper El Tezal will operate round-the-clock, catering to shoppers at all hours. As traffic intensifies in the area, residents and visitors are urged to exercise caution while navigating this busy part of Cabo San Lucas. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
