We’re proud to announce that GrapeVine’s Italian Restaurant, one of ACE’s longtime clients, has been featured in an article by the Opportunity Finance Network (OFN)!
Located in the beautiful town of Dahlonega, GA, GrapeVine’s is a shining example of how Hispanic-owned businesses are not only surviving but thriving with the right support. Matias Ruiz and Alfonso Virriel, the restaurant’s chef and manager turned owners, faced challenges securing traditional funding, especially during the pandemic. Thanks to ACE’s tailored financing and business advisory services, they were able to purchase GrapeVine’s and create over 18 jobs in their local community!
This story is a powerful reminder of the importance of access to capital and how ACE helps entrepreneurs like Matias and Alfonso build sustainable businesses, create jobs, and strengthen local economies.
A huge thank you to OFN for highlighting this success and to our amazing clients for their resilience and dedication! You can read their feature HERE.
