OXXO on Playa la Ropa

Oh boy! 7-Eleven comes to Playa La Ropa!

It sure has changed a lot from the days when the Alemán family had their little family-run convenience store with a couple of hammocks and Pepsi, no Coke, where the road ends at the beach, or years later when María & Felix had the only store across from my mother's old place above the parking lot. You could run a tab and pay when you had the money. You won't be doing THAT at Oxxo. I can remember when being able to get a cold Sangría Casera refresco at La Ropa was a big deal, along with pan de coco, and almost everything else you wanted you had to carry from town. Those were the days. Made you appreciate the simple pleasures. Now you can help Oxxo make profits for their shareholders instead of helping a local family make a living and put their children through school. What a world!
