H.R. No. 814 |
|
||
WHEREAS, Proud members of the Rodriguez family of Eagle Pass | ||
are gathering at the State Capitol to celebrate the 75 years of | ||
success of their business, Eagle Grocery; and | ||
WHEREAS, Also known to local residents as "La Tienda de Los | ||
Venados," Eagle Grocery was founded by two brothers, Joe and Albert | ||
Rodriguez, on Main Street in Eagle Pass in 1939; when Joe Rodriguez | ||
went away to serve in the armed forces during World War II, Albert | ||
stayed behind to run the store with his family; and | ||
WHEREAS, Over the years, the store has become an institution | ||
in Eagle Pass; its soda fountain was popular with high school | ||
students, and its meat market still draws customers from around the | ||
region; and | ||
WHEREAS, In the 1980s, the store transferred to Joe's | ||
daughter, Angie Rodriguez, and her husband, Benny, and with the | ||
help of their children, Jaime and Magaly, they have maintained the | ||
proud legacy of Eagle Grocery; and | ||
WHEREAS, Family businesses are essential to the prosperity | ||
and well-being of Texas communities, and the Rodriguez family may | ||
indeed reflect with pride on their 75 years of serving their friends | ||
and neighbors in Eagle Pass; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby recognize Eagle Grocery Day at the State Capitol | ||
and extend to the Rodriguez family sincere best wishes for | ||
continued success; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the Rodriguez family as an expression of high regard by | ||
the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
