1850...South America...Really? edit

I am reading Two Years Before the Mast, in which Dana writes of the "pulperias" of California in about 1834. I think the meaning is as described in this article, a town's "general store". But it seems the term dates earlier than indicated by this article, was not confined to company stores, and was not confined to South America! Bdushaw (talk) 15:56, 18 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Title Should Be "Pulpería" (with an Accented i) edit

Hi, I'm not really adept at Wiki stuff, but the article title "Pulperia" as written is incorrect; it should be "Pulpería," with an accent/tilde on the i, which is an integral part of the word's orthography. Does anyone know how to do this? I seem to recall the article has to be moved, but I might well be misremembering. Thanks in advance for any help. Mpaniello (talk) 00:39, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

There Should Be a Section on Central America edit

I'm half Honduran and spent part of my childhood there and still visit frequently. Pulpería is still the common name for such establishments there and in other Central-American countries as well as the Dominican Republic. I don't know more than that, so I'm not sure what I could really add to the article, but just leaving a bookmark here in case someone better-qualified happens to see this.
