I plan to recognize these new businesses each month; please join me in congratulating these businesses.”
Joining Mayor Salinas for the press conference were: Danny Lopez, Jr., for La Carreta Restaurant; Diego Iturbe for Ancira Volkswagon; Pete Mims for Border Foundry

Sergio Guzman and Dr. Christian Cabello, for Little Heroes Pediatric; and Alfonso Arguindegui of Conoco Pump & Shop.
All of these new businesses were recognized for adding new jobs to Laredo the Laredo economy, approximately 250 in new jobs with these new businesses alone. Several talked about
their plans to continue expanding their businesses with either newer, larger locations or additional locations. McDonald’s recently pointed out that the grand re-opening of their Santa
Ursula location set a new national record for the company: the most Big Macs sold for a grand opening in a four-hour time period. That number? 4, 772 Big Macs.
