Small Business Dreams Big, Goes Big

DEL RIO, Texas - Aug. 29, 2019 - PRLog -- A privately held Mexican Food Manufacturing Company, Julio's Corn Chips and Seasoning, Inc., announces that it has secured National Distribution in all Walmart Stores, effective Sept 16, 2019.

With humble roots from Del Rio, Texas, Julio's has had a strong regional presence in more than 6 states surrounding Texas. The company is currently expanding production with a new state of the art facility in Del Rio, tripling its current capacity. It will also utilize nine outside manufacturing facilities to satisfy the demand for its Chips, Pork Skins, Salsa, Queso, and Seasoning.

Miguel A. Garcia, Owner of Julio's, said "My dad, Julio T. Garcia, created these recipes 32 years ago from scratch. He started cooking the chips in a big pot in our kitchen and making the fresh salsa too. Our family produced the chips and salsas from our home, eventually building our own commercial kitchen and producing and delivering the chips by hand. HEB was the first retailer to authorize our chips 4 years later. From the beginning it has always been a dream of mine for Julio's to become a National Snack Food and Salsa Company. Walmart is allowing us the opportunity to experience that dream".

With high customer demand, the company began expanding flavors and products in 2014, adding varieties of salsas, and pepper sauces, and experimenting with additional products, like Pork Skins. These varieties have been such a success that Julio's continues to research and develop new products that utilize the same foundational signature seasoning.

Pete Garcia, Director of Production said "Our biggest challenge has always been trying to keep up with the demand. Our current plant has been operating around the clock for a couple of years. The new 33k sq ft production and storage facility will definitely help us keep up."

Merland Albert, Vice President, Sales and Marketing says "Distribution to Walmart will be Direct Store Delivered. We have reached a national distribution agreement with SnydersLance to exclusively distribute Julio's Tortilla Chips and Pork Skins to Walmart. For the past 15 years, they have been the largest, and a well trusted distributor for Julio's. With their National Distribution Network in place, this was an easy decision for us."
