Opinion: Don’t Gamble with Vendors' Futures at the San Jose Berryessa Flea Market | San Jose Inside
The San Jose Flea Market, “La Pulga de San José,” is a 61-year-old cultural touchstone and economic juggernaut for millions of California residents. But, for Latinos, it is much more than a marketplace—La Pulga serves as a combination of a plaza and market that provides an irreplaceable recreational and civic space for our community. It is a vibrant Mercado that has given Latinos a cultural and economic foothold in a landscape that has largely ignored our existence.

Starting Up: A Solo Restaurateur’s Dream - How to Minimize Risks to Maximize Success
Considering your own restaurant? A franchise may be the smarter option. Many of us have been to a successful restaurant and thought “I can do this, maybe even better!” An excellent restaurant could be likened to a duck swimming on a pond.
