“The continued strength of Hispanic culture and traditions in the United States could prove a recipe for success for a Crowley couple-turned-business owners.

Michael and Suzelle Benavidez, a firefighter and instructional specialist, respectively, are the co-owners of The Mariachi Connection, a Fort Worth store offering clothing, musical instrumentals and all things mariachi and ballet folklórico, or Hispanic folk dance.

The couple, originally from Corpus Christi, opened the store March 1 at the behest of Josie Benavidez, Michael’s sister-in-law, who opened the first Mariachi Connection in San Antonio about 11 years ago.”*
