Andino Mini Market

Santa Fe, NM

Gina Auz needed assistance with a start-up business and learned about WESST from the City of Santa Fe Economic Department. She has always considered herself an entrepreneur, but because she is a mother of five who also worked full time, she wasn’t able to dedicate the time she initially wanted or needed to follow her dream. This changed when she was encouraged to reach out to WESST. 

When she was told about WESST, Gina learned we had bilingual staff who would be able to help. “Although I speak English, it was nice to be able to explain in Spanish what I wanted to do.”  

She realized quickly that WESST would be a resource to provide help.  She had multiple consultations, describing them as “helpful and informative” and putting her on the right path to open her business, Andino Mini Market in Santa Fe. Andino Mini Market specializes in offering a wide variety of Latin products, allowing customers to relive the flavors of their home countries. The market features an extensive selection of items and is the go-to destination for those seeking authentic Latin flavors.

“I continue to grow, work on my website, and reach out to WESST. They have been a great help, and I tell all my friends to call when they are thinking of starting a business!”
