Hola everyone, we are here at the El Torito Supermarket
that was once a Petco in the past in Salem, Oregon.
They grand opened as of October the 9th, 2021.
Before we head inside, I wanna show you guys something.
That space over there...
it used to be a HomeTown Buffet.
Right now, it's being turned into a Japanese Buffet.
I actually went inside and filmed the old HomeTown Buffet
twice before getting repurposed.
If you haven't seen those videos yet,
make sure to watch it down in the description below.
Here's the label scar that says grooming.
Definitely part of Petco.
As well for this one.
The middle part would've said Petco.
That's where the cat and dog logo would've been.
It's crazy label scars are visible.
Now let's go inside.
Get ready.
And here we are.
Wow, everything looks different.
Compared to old Petco.
They just added walls.
It wasn't like that before, obviously.
We got fresh breads.
Sounds delicious!
The interior looks really nice.
You also happen to notice the tiles on the floor.
That was part of Petco as well.
This area right here, there was a wooden floor
but, they replaced it with a newer tiles.
Which makes more sense.
And the bathrooms were there the whole time.
Here are the bathrooms to the left.
And the exit was there the whole time.
So does the breakroom.
I'm very glad that this former Petco already got repurposed.
Knew it was going to happen eventually.
I have 2 videos of this old Petco.
The 1st video when it was in operation
and the 2nd one was abandoned.
If you haven't seen them yet, make sure to watch it as well.
Here you have 3 checkout counters.
They're new too.
Let's check the freezer room.
Such a tiny room!
Just mostly drinks.
And here's the additional room.
Produces are included, not just drinks.
They did a fantastic painting.
A big shout out to the people who did this painting.
That's a lot of cool details.
A little does it reminds me of the Asian grocery store
I went to used to be a Walgreens in Happy Valley.
I just love how new businesses keep the old layout and everything
in general.
It just really fascinates me whenever I see them in major cities.
Very colorful!
Beautiful.
They even painted the ceiling tiles.
Must've been hard to paint because the ceiling tiles are vertical.
With the paint brush, I'm sure they did it carefully.
Or otherwise if they pressed it too hard,
then the tiles would fall backward.
Other than that, they did a lot of excellent efforts.
This used to be a Petco's shelves.
What a cool remnant.
I really like this Takis sign.
You got some smooth texture.
Super cool!
I'm gonna get this kind of bread.
I'm gonna pay the price.
Had tried those breads before.
They're really good.
Just bought it already.
That was an awesome tour so far.
That's gonna wrap up for the video.
Make sure to give it a like, comment, share, by doing so,
and until next time.
Peace out.
