“The Lower Columbia’s largest Latino grocery store, El Tigre, offers 11 different kinds of chiles — hot peppers — including the hottest of all, the piquin.

Having specialities like that is one reason the four-year old grocery is expanding at its location at 463 Oregon Way in Longview, where it moved just a year ago.

Owner Neri Aguilar credits the store’s success to strong customer service, the area’s fast-growing Latino community, and the store’s evolution into a one-stop shop for local Latinos — a “supermercado” that sells $17 pinatas and $130 watches, specialty creams from Central America, $49 cowboy boots for tots and spooky religious knickknacks such as a statue of Santa Muerte - the Grim Reaper. “*
