Convenience stores in Playa

[John]

While out on our walk today, we noticed that Playa has acquired a new chain of convenience stores - Super City. There are two locations at the moment, one at Ave 30 and Calle 28, and the other at Ave 15 and Calle 10. We didn't stop in to see their selection or the prices.

In addition to all the mom and pop tiendas available, we now have an abundance of Oxxo, Xtra, 7-Eleven and now Super City chains here in Playa del Carmen. I swear, they are becoming as commonplace as the darn cell phone stores.

Can someone please open something original here, like an IKEA, a Container Store, or a Best Buy/Circuit City? Please???

We just got an Ikea, talk about a big box! Yikes!


We noticed the proliferation of stores on our last trip, can't swing a cat without hitting one.


Although you'll never go thirsty or without a smoke or candy bar when needed.
