Tons of businesses celebrated Cinco de Mayo over the weekend, but how many do you know celebrated by breaking a Guinness World Record?

El Rio Grande Latin Market off North Bucker Boulevard in Dallas did just that, securing the record for the world's largest fruit display by amassing 86,764 pounds of avocados!


El Rio marketing director Gladys Marquez said in the news release per the Dallas Observer, "Everything Grande in Texas isn't just about avocados – it's about bringing our community together. In addition to celebrating the avocado, we'll also be raising awareness about the importance of access to nutritious foods.

"We recognize that access to fresh, healthy food is a challenge for many people in our community. Throughout this campaign, we are doing more than breaking records – we're supporting our local economy and strengthening our community."

The 260,292 avocados that were on display are being distributed to all the company's stores across North Texas and sold for five for $1.
