Tahiti Pipeline Society

Société des Oléoducs de Tahiti is a supermarket tucked near Pointe Fare Ute in Papeete, serving up everyday groceries in one of French Polynesia's most active industrial port zones. The name literally translates to "Society of Pipelines of Tahiti," which makes it one of the more unusually named grocery stops you'll find anywhere. It's a no-frills, functional spot to stock up on local and imported goods without the crowds of the bigger Carrefour chains.
