Wal-Mart Builds Their Own Geek Squad

More Grocery Chains Say Bienvenidos to the Hispanic Market
With the popularity of cooking Mexican cuisine at home on the rise, and the fast-growing Hispanic-American population, it's no surprise that retailers, specifically grocers, are paying more attention to the Hispanic markets. More and more stores are bringing the Hispanic foods out of the ethnic aisle and into the mainstream sections of the stores.
