Now they are broadening their focus to include unique items, such as art. Mercado del Mundo also has an internet business and collaborates with other women business owners to grow all of their business.

Oviedo's advice to other small business owners is: "Get out there, don't expect customers to come to you. Collaborate instead of Compete, there are so may ways to grow your business while at the same time helping other business owners and vice versa!'
