About Bank of the Pacific

Bank of the Pacific (OTCQB:PFLC) is a community bank in the truest sense of the definition – focusing its attention on the needs of local businesses, and families, channeling most of their loans to the neighborhoods and communities where their clients live and work, helping those local communities grow.  The words “neighbor” and “hometown” carry significant meaning for each and every member of the Bank of the Pacific team.  And with this focus, Bank of the Pacific earns its independence every day.  The Bank is positioned as one of the premier community banks in the Northwest, and its performance reflects the Bank as a strong survivor in the consolidating banking industry.  The institution has grown and evolved significantly since its founding in 1971, when a group of businessmen from Long Beach, Washington sought to create a bank with high-touch personal service in a model that emphasized support for the local community.  Today, the Bank still holds true to these founding principles, but with a footprint that expands throughout 18 branches and three loan production offices in Washington and Oregon.

About Juanita’s Foods

Juanita’s brand products are made by Juanita’s Foods, a third-generation family-owned and operated business based in Wilmington, California.  Founded in 1946 by George De La Torre Sr. and his nephew, Albert Guerrero, it was originally called Harbor Canning Company and specialized in canning the catches of local sports fishermen.  One day, at the suggestion of Albert’s wife, Ruth, they tried canning menudo, a popular Mexican stew.  This innovative side venture, started in 1950, grew to become a huge success; eventually leading Juanita’s to be the world’s largest manufacturer of canned menudo.  Shortly after son George Jr. took the helm of the family business in 1968, he decided to completely eliminate fish canning, focusing on the true heart of the company: authentic, ready-to-serve home cooked Mexican food.  The Company’s path was clear, and was officially renamed Juanita’s Foods, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining their well-earned title of leader in the Mexican food category.  Today, Juanita’s continues their passion for innovation while maintaining their dedication to authentic high-quality Mexican food.  Their product line continues to grow with a wide variety of flavorful soups, sauces and stews under the direction of George Jr.’s son, Aaron as CEO, Juanita’s is proud to carry on the solid family traditions and strong business legacy begun so many years ago, and plans to continue pleasing their loyal customers for many more years to come.
