History
Ariel Acosta-Rubio and Maria Alejandra Bravo opened their first churro stand in Puerto La Cruz, a beach town four hours away from the capital of Venezuela. After experiencing mild success in the endeavor they set themselves a goal to "take Churromania to each corner of Venezuela and the World."[1][2]
With the second store open popularity grew across the country and Churromania was able to open 15 more stores in less than a year and a half. Now based in Miami, Florida, Churromania opened up approximately 120 more stores and started marketing themselves nationally with the inclusion of American-based franchises having the Hispanic market as their main target.[1][2] The organization began US operations in 2001 in Miami.[3][4]
