The Aguilars were unable to obtain bank financing to convert the building, so they obtained a loan from MoFi, a nonprofit community-development lender serving the Northern Rockies.

“It’s exciting to see how a business that Senen started years ago is now expanding and supporting his son Nestor and the next generation of entrepreneurs, as well as meeting the needs of customers in the Treasure Valley’s Hispanic community,” said MoFi President Dave Glaser in a news release.
