WHEREAS, Locally owned businesses make a welcome |
|
|
contribution to the distinct character of their communities, and |
|
|
one such enterprise, Aguilar's Meat Market, celebrated 30 years of |
|
|
service to the residents of Edinburg in 2014; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, On October 18, 1984, Irineo Aguilar Sr. opened |
|
|
Aguilar's Meat Market on the corner of 22nd Street and Highway 107, |
|
|
drawing on the three decades of experience he gained while employed |
|
|
with similar institutions; together with his wife, Elida, and their |
|
|
family, Mr. Aguilar went on to build a successful store by |
|
|
providing a quality product and outstanding customer service; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, After the death of Mr. Aguilar in 1992, ownership of |
|
|
Aguilar's Meat Market passed to his son, Irineo Aguilar Jr., and |
|
|
daughter, Irma De La Cruz, who ran the operation with the guidance |
|
|
of their mother; the Aguilars, who continue to run the store today |
|
|
with the support of their spouses, Elizabeth C. Aguilar and Felix De |
|
|
La Cruz, encourage in their employees the same dedication and |
|
|
courteous attitude to patrons that they learned from the market's |
|
|
founder; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The family opened a second location on the west end |
|
|
of town in 2007, and its success paved the way for another expansion |
|
|
into the city of San Juan in 2012; at each location, Aguilar's Meat |
|
|
Market has given back to the community that helped it to grow and |
|
|
thrive through its involvement with local schools and other |
|
|
programs; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, For three decades, Aguilar's Meat Market has ably |
|
|
met the needs of customers while contributing to the local economy, |
|
|
and the enterprise remains an inspiring example of the achievements |
|
|
that can be realized through hard work and a commitment to |
|
|
excellence; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby recognize Aguilar's Meat Market on its 30th |
|
|
anniversary in Edinburg and extend to the Aguilar family and their |
|
|
employees sincere best wishes for the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the business as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
