'This is a family run business to serve the local Hispanic/Latino community along with international products,' read a conditional use authorization application from Casa Guadalupe. 'The business is minority owned and will provide a new source of employment for locals.'

The Cesar Chavez Street storefront has received new signs recently, with its awning now reading 'Produtos Mexicanos Centroamericano Y Sudamericanos,' reported SFist. The signs also advertise fresh fruits and vegetables, beer and groceries.
