Costa Rican Business in USA

Properties in Costa Rica
We have all heard about doing business in Costa Rica and the benefits of investing in Costa Rica or giving a business a chance. But what we do not hear too much about is a Costa Rican business taking their sales to the USA. The Costa Rican’s are very tech-savy and very educated people. If I were to guess I would have said that a small tech company was giving it a go in the USA. Well it turns out I am way off. I guess I should stick to Costa Rica real estate blogging and Costa Rica Vacations.
The company that just recently opened up in the State of Florida in Palm Beach is Pops. If you have lived in Costa Rica or visited a few times you might be familiar with Pops. This is a small ice cream chain that is owned by Costa Rican’s and have spread themselves all over the country. They seem to be all over and sometimes I feel their are more Pops than ATM’s.
According to La Nacion the investment was done with $300,000’s and a contract to employ 12 employees. If anyone is in business in Costa Rica you know this is a very big difference than what you would pay to start a business here in Costa Rica. It will be interesting to see how they do and what they charge for ice cream. It is said that they will have local Costa Rican flavors but the most sold is the brownie.
Whatever happens and we hope for the best it is still a great thing to be proud of for all small business owners in Costa Rica and also says that with an economy still not completely on it’s feet in the USA that a small Costa Rican company can afford to go give it a shot and test their luck in the USA. So now if you are thinking of visiting Florida for a vacation and you are from Costa Rica you can have yourself a little taste of home.
