The Tapatío Hot Sauce company was started in 1971 by Jose-Luis Saavedra Sr. in a 750-square-foot (70 m) warehouse in Maywood, California. In 1985, "the company moved to an 8,"500-square-foot (790 m2) facility in Vernon, California, 5 miles (8.0 km) from Downtown Los Angeles. Although larger than the "first location," the new factory had a single loading dock and "limited storage space," which created a new series of problems for the company. After a long search, a site was found for a developer to custom-build a new 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m) facility, which Tapatío presently occupies.
