Description

This mural is on the two street side facades of the Supermercado Jessica building. The building is painted a bright yellow color. Depictions of produce and the store's name are painted on the facades. On one facade peppers, an avocado, a watermelon slice, cherries, a pineapple, a strawberry, and a bunch of grapes are painted. Above the door painted in white capital letters with a golden yellow outline and thick black shadows are the words "Supermercado Jessica" [Supermarket Jessica]. Under the window in the same font and colors are the words "fruteria" [fruit shop] and "grocery." On the other facade of the building are a carrot, a cherry, oranges, a mango, dragon fruit, a tomato, a jalapeno pepper, a radish, and a bunch of bananas. In white text above a window on the side is the name "Jessica". In the lower left side in the same font is the word "frutastropica" [tropical fruit]. The corner of the building has a set-back entrance and several items are painted there. To the left of the door are two coconuts. To the right of the door is a basket of fruit. Just beneath the basket, contained within a white outlined cloud and written in black letters, is the signature of the artist. It reads "@cocos/artsss."
