OGDEN, Utah (AP) - You can’t say Miguel Hernandez doesn’t have aspirations.

He launched a new eatery last June, Pepito’s Philly Cheese Steak, and dreams of franchises around the country.

“That’s my goal. I want to see Pepito’s everywhere,” he said.

Not bad for an immigrant from Guerrero, Mexico, who lived his early years before coming to the United States in a crowded one-room home topped by a palm frond roof.

“It was a lot of days we had only tortillas and salt. That was our meal, nothing else,” he said.

But his story isn’t unprecedented.

As Latinos increasingly call Utah and Ogden home - many of them immigrants - more are flexing their entrepreneurial muscles, ditching their bosses and opening businesses, many of them smaller family operations.

The number of Latino-owned businesses with employees in Utah is small relative to the overall total. But the growth is clear - from 847 in 1997 to 1,820 in 2015, a 115 percent increase, according to U.S. Census Bureau figures. By comparison, the overall number of businesses with paid employees in the same 18-year period grew by 43 percent, from 42,076 to 60,250.
