El Paso Small Business Spotlight

What began 18 years ago with El Zarape as a dream to support my family, continues to grow today with a new concept called El Chisme. Thanks to the support of the BOSS program, I have received resources and guidance to further strengthen my business and better serve my community.

Join us in supporting this local business by stopping by and following them on Instagram for the latest updates.
