Todd and Sherry Martin are the owners of Tucson Tamale Company. Since opening a restaurant in 2008, the Martins have built the company into an enterprise thatâs on target to make more than 6,000,000 tamales this year. The company has two restaurants in Tucson but has grown into a wholesale company that sells tamales in more than 3,500 grocery stores and specialty shops across the country. The tamales have become the No. 3 seller among natural brands in the frozen burrito category. (There is no frozen tamale category, so they get lumped in with the burritos.) Tucson Tamale Company has recently partnered with Diamond Ventures to purchase the Malone Meat and Poultry facility in South Tucson, where they intend to expand their operation and expanding their staff to 50 employees.

According to the numbers, 8.1% of those vaccinated at the state-run POD’s (points of distribution) are Hispanic. In Pima County it’s better, but not much: 13.8%.
For African Americans it’s 1.1% and 1.5%.
“I am continually frustrated by this lack of thinking outside the box to reach these communities,” said District 5 Pima County Supervisor Adelita Grijalva.
