Mi Pueblo Hires Military Veterans to Aid Reintegration

With Fourth of July but hours away, Mi Pueblo Food Center, Northern California’s leading neighborhood grocery retailer, is reaching out to military veterans to join the Mi Pueblo workforce. 

Mi Pueblo has 21 locations in Northern California, including one on East Bayshore Road in East Palo Alto.

"The company will launch recruiting efforts with upcoming veteran job fairs and veteran recruitment days at Mi Pueblo’s corporate headquarters," the company said in a press release.

In an effort "to demonstrate respect and gratitude to members of our armed forces who so selflessly risk their lives to protect our nation and our allies, as well as to strengthen the company with skilled, dedicated team members," Mi Pueblo is attempting to increase the number of veterans on its payroll. 

Mi Pueblo is using this hiring tool to help veterans reintegrate into civilian life.

“Hiring veterans not only shows our gratitude for their service,” said Mi Pueblo’s Vice President of Public Affairs Perla Rodriguez. “But, it is also an opportunity for our company to attract skilled workers with a track record of discipline, dedication and leadership. As an employer, we feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to recruit talented team members that will only help to strengthen our company and our service to our loyal customers.”

Mi Pueblo currently employs 3,000 people in its 21 locations.
