Description One man’s dream and determination become a legacy that thrives through the changing times and is passed down to future generations. The González family offers a look into their heritage and history. Hailing from Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, Mexico, Don Miguel González Jiménez was a product of humble beginnings. Don Miguel worked as a shoemaker in a small shop in his beloved town. In 1952, after a tragic fire consumed his shoe shop, Don Miguel's once pride was reduced to ashes. However, with the support of a loving and caring wife (Doña Teresa Reynoso de González) and the backing of his community, Don Miguel found comfort and hope. After 14 years of struggle and uncertainty, Don Miguel decided to venture to the United States to pursue a better life for his wife and children. The “American Dream” was his path forward. Years later, Don Miguel became a business owner once again, as in 1980, he opened the first-ever Northgate Market. Converting a once-liquor store into a grocery store was no easy task, but Don Miguel and the rest of his family were no strangers to challenges. Eventually, one store turned into two, and the González family never looked back. The González family continues to grow, as does Northgate Market's history. Thanks to the foundation created by Don Miguel and the continued care of the family thereafter, Northgate Market's future is bright. We are always looking for great people to join our Northgate Family. We strive to create a great work environment that is positive and fun, where people have meaningful work, where individuals have a sense of belonging and feel appreciated, valued, and secure. We offer a workplace that promotes teamwork, flexibility, innovation, and quality. If you are passionate about food, are customer focused, team-oriented, and want to be a part of our family, we invite you to apply at www.northgatemarket.com/careers
