The Ylarregui family has sold Basque Company to Julio López, a Mexican-American from Fresno, California, 35 years after its foundation, in 1980. The terms of the deal were not disclosed by none of the parties, although the founder said to EuskalKultura.com that it was sold for “a good amount of money.” Basque Company’s products will still be available at the same stores as always and co-owners Ramón and son Michael will start a new life: the former as a retired man and the latter as a personal trainer. Management discrepancies, based on generational differences, might have played a role at the time of making the decision to sell the business.
