"It's been good,” owner Liliam Morin said. “A lot of growth."
Growth because the business started out as a food truck four years ago. Thanks to their successful business and a little financial help through a low-interest loan from the CDFI Friendly Initiative, they now have a brick-and-mortar. "I don't believe we'd be able to do it without that help,” Morin said. “This is a large step for us coming from a food truck. It's hard with the credit and the collateral that you need to."or CDFI initiative started last year. It's provided $10.3 million so far in new capital to minority-owned businesses in Fort Worth.
"Your CDFIs are geared towards your underserved,” Jeremis Smith, Legacy Construction Solutions CEO, said. “Your less heard companies and smaller businesses. So, I think it could be good if they do exactly what they are supposed to do."
Magnificent. Congratulations! You have to go and enjoy tasty Cuban food and support these entrepreneurs, who with a lot of effort and sacrifice are achieving the long-awaited American dream. Even more impressive, if we consider that they escaped Cuban communism only 8 years ago.
