| H.R. No. 613 | ||
|
|
||
| WHEREAS, The year 2016 marked the 65th anniversary of the | ||
| founding of López Handy Stop in Robstown; and | ||
| WHEREAS, This convenience store was established in June 1951 | ||
| by Manuel B. López, and in the ensuing years, nine additional | ||
| locations were opened in Robstown, Three Rivers, and San Diego, | ||
| Texas; dedicated to keeping the company a family business, | ||
| Mr. López eventually entrusted the stores to his children; and | ||
| WHEREAS, In 2013, the founder's grandson Hector M. López Jr. | ||
| relocated from San Antonio after a career as a mortician to become | ||
| the store's third-generation owner; the younger Mr. López spent | ||
| much of his adolescence working at the stores, where he learned | ||
| every aspect of the business, from stocking and inventory to | ||
| bookkeeping and payroll; today, he proudly continues his family's | ||
| legacy in the Robstown community, and López Handy Stop employs a | ||
| staff of eight; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Locally owned and operated businesses play a vital | ||
| role in the prosperity of the Lone Star State, and those enterprises | ||
| that build a record of dependability and longevity enjoy a special | ||
| degree of esteem in their communities; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
| Legislature hereby commemorate the 65th anniversary of López Handy | ||
| Stop and extend to Hector López and his staff sincere best wishes | ||
| for continued success; and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
| prepared for Mr. López as an expression of high regard by the Texas | ||
| House of Representatives. | ||
