Supermercado La Tortilla

About the project


Maria and Gilberto Ortiz established Little Munchkins Produce Inc. in 2012. The 900 sq. ft. store is located on the southwest side of Chicago and offeres perishable and nonperishable grocery items.

Little Munchkins is located in Chicago, IL.

LISC provided $307,623 in financing to support costs associated with the opening of Supermercado La Tortilla, a new, 6,600 sq. ft. location two miles south of Little Munchkins. The loan will cover equipment, fixtures and starting inventory. The new location will be a full-service grocery store with a meat/deli counter, fresh produce, dairy case and three grocery product aisles. The store will also have a small taqueria with counter seating.

Thanks to the loan LISC provided we were able to continue with our plan to expand and purchase the equipment we needed. We will open for business very soon. We thank LISC for the support and for believing in us.
