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.
