Pedro was raised in West Texas and grew up off Tamale carts. We were in the Auto Parts business and one day one of the wives of a counter worker brought in some Tamales. Since Pedro grew up on tamales as a kid, he knew the importance of a comfort food. Right then is when he decided that he was going to provide the best tamale. One day Pedro came home and said “We’re going in the Tamale Business,” and just like that we were going into the Tamale Business.

Who owns your company or runs daily operations?
Pedro's is a family operated company. Mark Hale is Pedro's youngest son and is the President/CEO. He Believes exactly what his father does. The Creed on Both of their cards reads
“I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon- if I can.
I seek Opportunity- not Security, I do not wish to be a “kept” citizen, humbled and dulled by having the State look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build; to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the change of like to the “guaranteed’ existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.
I will not trade Freedom for Beneficence, not my dignity for a handout. It is my heritage to think and act for myself; to enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly, and say: This I Have Done!”
All this is what it means to be an American.
