Local businesses in the Ocean State are owned by Rhode Islanders who’ve settled here from around the world. The annual Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce's Business Expo is partially reflecting that this year, with the Hispanic Business Showcase.

Guatemalan natives Densil, Byron and Ronan Lurssen own this year’s featured business, La Paz Wholesale, which sells foods from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras to local markets.

Other confirmed participants include Alicia’s Art; Hispanic Technology and Education Programs; Izulec Beauty Salon; Xzito Creative Solutions; RI Marketing & Advertising; Directorio Hispano: Hispanic Yellow Pages; PC Repair Software and Network; JM Painting and Plastering; and Erick R. Photography.

The Showcase is set to begin today at 10 at the Rhode Island Convention Center. It will be at destination booth 101 of the Business Expo. Download a .PDF flier to get information about special events, including a 1 p.m. meet and greet special guests.
