Celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month with Heritage Para Latinos

Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th to October 15th, so our HLS branches across the country are celebrating the Hispanic community's rich culture, history, and contributions. Through our Heritage Para Latinos initiative, we're dedicated to supporting Spanish-speaking pros with tailored resources, customer appreciation days, hands-on training events, and more, conducted entirely in Spanish.

At the heart of this effort are our Heritage Para Latinos Ambassadors. These Territory Managers, Branch Managers, District Managers, and Sales Specialists work every day to bring specialized training and bilingual tools directly to our local communities.

Featured Ambassador Spotlights

Alex Montes Lopez (Assistant Branch Manager at Heritage Landscape Supply in Fort Myers, FL) 
Alex worked his way up from driving a delivery truck four years ago to managing inside sales, completing our Manager in Training program, and becoming Assistant Branch Manager. His roots trace back to Mexico, and he views Hispanic Heritage Month as a time to honor history and bring people together. He connects with his culture through family meals during Noche Buena and Día de los Muertos.

Alejandro Quiñonez (Account Manager at Heritage Landscape Supply in Westminster, CO) 
Alejandro has spent six years building customer relationships across Colorado. His roots trace back to Durango, Mexico, and he sees Hispanic Heritage Month as a time to pass traditions down to the next generation. Family cookouts with traditional food and games like Lotería keep those cultural connections strong.
