My goal is to provide the community with a spanish traditional convenience store where aside from shopping for your grocery needs you can also grab a bite to eat. We will be having a special potato chip wall where kids can come after School and build their own nachos snack by the staff @5 for students ! I'm looking to give back to the community I was the oldest in my house and I used to always go to the local corner store and I remember how fun it was to go I wanna bring that back for kids and my community by providing the best service and prices ! I will also be providing employment opportunities for the community. Offering deli items will enhance convenience for individuals and families who may not have time to prepare meals but wish to enjoy fresh and healthy food options. .
