Fiesta Market to be acquired by El Super

"The acquisition of Fiesta allows us to meaningfully expand into Texas via an established, well-known supermarket operator,” said Carlos Smith, CEO of Bodega, which currently operates 59 El Super stores in the Southwest U.S. “Through the combination of the strengths of our two organizations, we will be well positioned to significantly accelerate our vision of efficiently offering high quality products at the lowest possible prices.”

Fiesta Mart, founded in Houston 46 years ago to cater to the Hispanic population, has struggled in recent years to maintain its customer base amid mounting competition from larger grocers eyeing the fast-growing consumer segment.

I bought some banana leaves and achiote paste from Fiesta last week so this hits close to home.

I met a guy to buy a boat prop in the parking lot of the one on I35 last Sunday, so you...close to home and all that.

[HenryJames 66368]

I'm pretty sure you can buy just about anything in that parking lot.

Since it's currently owned by a NY financial firm, I see this as a positive. I like Fiesta and look forward to its new overlords.
