CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â During these challenging and trying times, several local businesses across South Texas have struggled to do their best to keep their doors open.
Noe Bocanegra, the owner of War & Peace Limited and a U.S. veteran, came out of retirement to reopen his store to serve area veterans.
Bocanegraâs store was previously located at Sunrise Mall for more than two decades. War & Peace Limited is now located at La Palmera Mall and reopened in February of 2020.
However, due to the ongoing pandemic, Bocanegra had to close for three months.
âAnd before you know it we said, âyou know what, nobody is shopping anymore letâs close down the place and the mall shut downâ and we said, âyou know what, the whole country is shutting down for a few months letâs see what happens,â said Bocanegra.
