It is not just the Bay Area suffering economic collapse due to government policies—even in the Central Valley, firms are leaving. In this case a well respected Hispanic firm has had it and is moving to Texas—over the objections of the Hollywood Slicky.

Last year, Kim Ruiz Beck, chair of Ruiz Foods, said that the company team loves California, but that it is burdensome with regulatory requirements. It is different operating in more business-friendly states, she added.
A rational decision to leave an irrational State.
DINUBA’S RUIZ FOODS MOVING CORPORATE HQ TO TEXAS

A major local food manufacturer will be moving its headquarters out of the Central Valley.
On May 12, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that Ruiz Food Products, Inc. will establish a regional headquarters in Frisco, Texas.
The Mexican food manufacturer’s move to North Texas will bring at least 125 jobs to the area by 2026, according to a press release from the governor’s office.
In May 2022 Gov. Abbott announced that Ruiz Foods planned to establish a regional headquarters in Frisco. Company officials said it would operate along with the Dinuba corporate headquarters.
“As we continue to plan the next phase of our growth, we have realized the need for a centrally located regional headquarters in a larger metropolitan area,” said Ruiz Foods President and CEO Dan Antonelli. “We believe selecting Frisco, Texas, will allow for greater business opportunities, more efficient access to each of our facilities, and easier recruitment of talent with important skill sets, such as consumer products, IT, and marketing experience.”
Last year, Kim Ruiz Beck, chair of Ruiz Foods, said that the company team loves California, but that it is burdensome with regulatory requirements. It is different operating in more business-friendly states, she added.
“We are a national business, and this decision will allow us to better serve both our customers and our manufacturing facilities,” said Ruiz Beck in the latest release.
Ruiz Foods currently has four production facilities — two in California (Dinuba and Tulare), one in South Carolina and one in Denison, Texas.
Beck said that most employees who relocated to the Frisco offices were settled in by January of this year.

Ya, that’s what the Wise Snacks people told me when I asked why they didn’t sell their snacks in CA – too many rules. This is why we cannot buy their products, such as Dipsy Doodles corn chips, in stores here, must buy them online.

UHHHH DUH!
Now let me get this straight. A Messican Business (read that as Mexican) has had it with a State that has pandered to them and handed out money regularly.
Where is the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce? Simple they have been bought off by tax money.and promises of power politics. They can puff up and attend special dinners as long as they are in effectual.
Another business that should be supporting (ssshhhhh Mexican) business is gone.
Want to be they have a long history of voting for ,Dem’s? Now the reality of private enterprise and small government has forced the to leave.
Now why have you voted for Dem’s?
Read up on Argentina. A rich and prosperous country. They did not believe they could fail either. All it took was a socialist authoritarian take over of the economy (read Sacramento).
Successful business is MOBILE. Government action and reaction is the snail chasing behind the free enterprise rabbit. Making rules forcing the rabbit to slow down is socialism at work.
It is hard to believe the democrat party does not see the handwriting on the wall. They must think ignoring it will work? Policies speak louder than words.
Bye bye Ruiz.
Communists Brown & Newsom are responsible for California slip slidin’ into the toilet.
Keep voting communist democrat and the state will be a third-world shlt-hole
within a few years, it is nearly that already.
