  But today, you have to have a minimum of probably $10,000 to $20,000 because of the size of the customer," Fred Ruiz explains."In today's environment, you're dealing with large [market] chains; you have to be able to handle larger volumes."
  
  In the years since Ruiz Foods was first listed on the Hispanic Business 500®, its revenues have grown from $10 million to $326 million.And it currently ranks No. 18 on the directory.
  
  The Hispanic Business 500, Mr. Ruiz says, has long been a valuable tool in measuring the progress of his company as well as that of others on the list.
  
  "I like to know how we compare to other businesses.I know it helped me and it made me feel better about being successful."
  
  Not only does being part of the Hispanic Business 500 encourage him, the directory provides a list of role models that would otherwise be lost in the crowd.
  
  "To me, all these businesses are role models," Mr. Ruiz says.
