1 Cardenas Latino Scholarship Pursuing Our Dream: The Cardenas Story The Cardenas story began with a dream, a lucky twist of fate and many years of hard work In 1957 Jesus Cardenas arrived from Jalisco, Mexico to work as part of the "bracero" work program. Mr. Cardenas arrived with a commitment to work and the desire to provide a better future for his family. The years of working in the fields led him to different locations all over the state of California. He worked in Riverside, Oxnard, and the Coachella Valley. Little did he know that years later, these areas would all become prime locations for Cardenas Markets. He fulfilled his dream of starting his own family business. His wife, Luz, is an invaluable business partner as well. Together they built the foundation for success. They began by selling pork, poultry, chorizo and cheeses, as well as the delicious dishes from Mrs. Cardenas home cooked recipes of the state of Jalisco in Mexico. Soon after, customers started lining up and the Cardenas stores were born. Cardenas Markets is proud to be a family business. The second generation has always been involved in day-to-day operations.

We can honestly say that it all began with a pregnant pig...
