Curacao

La Curacao made headlines with the opening of its second location in the Panorama City Mall, America 's first Hispanic market department store in a mall. The company is best known as a growing chain of large format department stores in California. With a Hispanic focus, it ranks among the top 100 electronics and appliance retailers in the United States, larger than many nationwide companies whose stores number in the thousands. Latinos are the fastest growing demographic group in the United States, with the highest concentration being in Southern California. For the last decade, Los Angeles has been home to the third-largest Hispanic population in the world seven million people, with a buying power of $66 billion each year. It is no coincidence that La Curacao has grown as well. La Curacao s corporate offices are in the Pico-Union district, occupying the same building as its oldest store.
