EL NUEVO
MENSAJERO
FROM CORPORATE
From the
Desk of Javier
Dear Colaboradores,
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you a
Happy New Year and thank you for the great
work you did in 2015. I’m confident 2016 will
bring great things for Mi Pueblo and for all of
you who work hard to make this company successful. Starting a new year allows us to take a
fresh look at what lies ahead and to set new goals
and expectations. As we kick-off the New Year,
I’d like to remind everyone of the importance
of providing outstanding customer service by
going above and beyond when addressing our customers’ needs.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to remind
you that Mi Pueblo is an operations-based company. All areas of Mi Pueblo, from corporate,
to produce, to the bakery, are inter-connected.
Therefore, it’s absolutely crucial for all areas to
support each other in order to operate effectively and efficiently, and increase overall business.
As I’ve said in my frequent store visits, the corporate office exists to serve, support, and assist
our stores with anything they need. Please don’t
hesitate to contact the corporate team if you
have any questions or concerns.
This month’s Nuevo Mensajero newsletter includes information on new employees, lists of
upcoming community events, and a recap of
2015 and the activities Mi Pueblo did this past
year. Please feel free to share your comments
and suggestions for any content and photos
you’d like to see featured in next month’s issue to
mipueblo@havasformulatin.com
Let’s have a great year!
Sincerely,
Javier Ramírez,
CEO and President
Xolos vs. Monarcas
Avaya Stadium
What better way to start the year. On January 2, the players of Morelia,
Pablo Velázquez, Carlos Morales and Juan Pablo Rodrigez visited us at
store #12 Capitol in San Jose and were signing autographs.
Then the next day, January 3rd, Mi Pueblo was present for the COPA
Nissan match Monarcas de Morelia vs Xolos de Tijuana. Leading up
to the kickoff, fans were able to enjoy the Mexican Soccer Festival with
special guest, Jorge Campos. El Mero Mero even made it to the big
screen! Miguel “El Piojo” Herrera lead the Xolos winning the match 2-1.

Holiday Party
Celebrating Our Traditions
Holiday season means posada time! Mi Pueblo celebrated the holidays by hosting posadas across all our stores. The festivities included
food, fun activities and giveaways, where lucky colaboradores won
television sets, Starbucks gift cards, Visa gift cards and even a paid
weekend off!
Rosca de Reyes Breaks Sales Record!
This year our customers didn’t go without noticing our freshly baked
Roscas de Reyes. Customers lined up to get their fresh out of the
oven traditional Rosca. Just like that the Rosca de Reyes broke its
own sales record, selling more than 13,000 roscas in just one day!
Thanks to all our skilled bakers and the rest of the team!
Customer Service Shout-outs!
Special shout-out to Store 3 for their great customer service!
“Prior to moving to downtown, I lived
in west San Jose. I was accustomed to
shopping at markets such as Safeway
and Lunardis. When I first moved
to downtown I continued to shop at
stores I was familiar with. On a few
occasions I would stop in at Mi Pueblo
for quick need items. Well that has
changed over the last year or so, and I
shop at Mi Pueblo for most of my grocery needs. There are a few items that I need that are only carried in certain stores,
but the bulk of my shopping is done and will continue to be done at Mi Pueblo. The
single and most important reason that I shop almost exclusively at Mi Pueblo is
customer service. I am greeted by many of the staff (existing and new) in a personal
manner that never happened in the other stores I shopped at. I had mentioned this
to one of the managers (Maricruz, she is very helpful and a pleasure to see when
I shop) and that I shop there because I am treated like family. It is difficult in any
business sector to see coworkers be released from their job as it effects more than
just that individual. I will support the staff at Mi Pueblo in the only way I can by
being a continued loyal faithful shopper there.” – Doug
Keep up the great work Rosa!
“Hi, I just want to request that this email get
forwarded to the Salinas’s manager. I came in
today, 1/12/15, and I just want it noted that
Rosa gave me great customer service. I have
seen her before when I have ordered from
your taqueria area in the past, and she has
always been
extremely personable and friendly. I
believe hard workers that provide
excellent customer
service should be
commended, so
this is why I am
writing this email.”
– Leah Alvarez

Bakery Training
Congratulations to our Master Trainers that successfully
trained 63 Bakers company wide. The purpose of the training was to effectively develop, teach, and train Mi Pueblo Bakers to create
top quality bakery products that are produced fresh daily at your local Mi
Pueblo store. Each Master Trainer was responsible for taking each trainee
through a step-by-step training program that teaches our bakers the art of
creating, proofing, and baking our most popular breads from scratch.
We appreciate the
hard work and
dedication of our
Master Bakers in
making this training
a success!
