THE CARMEN'S BEST PANDEMIC STORY
During the pandemic, Carmen's Best faced a major challenge.

Many of its customers were businesses in industries heavily affected by closures, including hotels, airlines, resorts, and coffee shops. Sales declined significantly. The production plant was operating only a fraction of its usual schedule.

But the company continued paying its 38 employees their full salaries. Eventually, Paco began questioning how much longer the business could continue.

He shares how his father encouraged him to keep the business going and helped with payroll.
Later, an opportunity emerged for the MVP Group to invest in the business. According to the conversation, the deal involved a 51% majority stake and included the dairy business and Carmen's Best brand. The interview then explores how the business developed after that partnership.
