Good afternoon, welcome to Tuta! It is a characteristic greeting that the employees of this facility say when customers enter, and the new opening on the coast is no exception.

Tuti recently opened this location next to Torres del Salado urbanization. This goes past the gas station.

The company’s Tiendas Tuti Tide SA chain is already in more than 25 cantons, adding more than 400 stores.

Before entering, there is a sign announcing this place on the avenue. “Your money goes further when Tuti is closer,” reads the sign.
