With a start in Monterrey, Santa Catarina, Cancun and Reynosa in 1984, Mr. Botello Sr. saw a need in McAllen that would start his family planting roots here.
Continuing this first-class service to domestic and international clients still is the foundation of Jimmy Santos Inc, dba Santos International.
With an international metro population of around 2,400,000, McAllen sits at the center of North America’s population growth corridor. A healthy advanced manufacturing community- with over 145,000 employees, a booming retail trade- of over $17.5 billion per year, the number one port-of-entry for a continuing tradition of agricultural products, a burgeoning medical industry, supported by the new UTRGV School of Medicine and a year ‘round tourism trade- bolstered by winter Texans - all coalesce to form a strong economic base.
