New tenant graces Chapalita Glorieta

A large house on the Chapalita Glorieta has been cleverly converted into a new Office Max store.

Eating options at the glorieta include New York, New York, El Tango and Dali.  There are also two cafes: El Globo and  Expressamente Illy, both with outdoor seating. On Sundays, an art market is held in the glorieta, with a performance by the Zapopan Band given at 5 p.m.
