Title: Owner
Name of Organization: Peke's
Pozole Restaurant
Although only 19, Jonathan
Macedo is already the owner
of one restaurant, Peke's Pozo-
le, and is working on another.
Peke's Pozole started as a
small business in the living
room of his home when he
was 12. Now it's a South Side
restaurant in Chicago.
Macedo not only runs and
manages Peke's Pozole with
the help of his great emplo-
yees, but he also attends De-
Paul University and is about
to open a second business, Las
Toxicas, with a partner.
He says he is new to "this
whole business thing" consi-
dering he and his family have
been in the industry for only
about four years. His mother
started the business and then
passed it to him. He knows
every position in the restau-
rant and has been managing
it from the backend for years.
There will be more loca-
tions for Peke's Pozole. The
family purchased a property
and is waiting on city permits
in order to begin remodeling.
