Private Story
El Conquistador
Juan Kenigstein, aka Juanito El Conquistador, owns the decades old fabrics store El Conquistador in Downtown Brownsville, Texas. He promised his mother he would keep the store open after her passing, but the rapidly changing environment in the area, and the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, have made it increasingly difficult to stay in business. "I'm no longer making that much profit, I keep the store open for its tradition" says Juan.
