Cardenas is best known as a local neighborhood market, serving communities throughout California and in Las Vegas. Team members there pride themselves on making customers, and those in the community, feel like part of the Cardenas family.

That kind of neighborhood identity carries a different weight in a city like Las Vegas, where the public image is shaped almost entirely by the Strip, the sportsbooks, and the rise of mobile casinos. The Las Vegas that Cardenas actually serves is the one a tourist would never notice — quiet residential blocks, school pickup lines, and the families behind them. The company's job, as it sees it, is to show up for those neighborhoods, and that mindset travels with it everywhere it opens a store.

That commitment to taking care of the community rang true for approximately 200 students at PLACE @ Prescott, an elementary school in Oakland, California. Spearheaded by the efforts of Marco Robles, students were greeted with new athletic sneakers, which had previously been measured by the committed educators of PLACE @ Prescott.

For the 200 smiling children at Prescott Elementary, Marco Robles and the Cardenas team showed once again that taking care of the community is the Cardenas way!
