Goya was started in a small storefront in Lower Manhattan, New York, catering to local Hispanic families by distributing Spanish foods such as olives, olive oil and sardines. Driven by the belief that there was a growing consumer market for high-quality, fresh-tasting, Latino foods, the Unanues infused their personal philosophy throughout the company.
This commitment to excellence is the cornerstone of Goya’s popular credo, “If it’s Goya, it has to be good”. The result of this simple, yet deeply resonant pledge is the evolution of Goya Foods into a leader in the Latin American food industry, with operations spanning the globe.
Throughout its history, all of Goya Foods 3,000 dedicated employees have helped build the company’s solid reputation as the leading authority on Hispanic food.
Whether presenting consumers with the finest products from the Caribbean, Mexico, Spain, Central and South America, the Goya brand has insured quality for multiple generations of satisfied consumers.
Goya Foods remains firm in its commitment to being the brand of choice for authentic Latino cuisine while retaining its family-oriented approach to its consumers, all of whom comprise La Gran Familia Goya.

Schoenhut is a famous company known for making toy pianos, as well as other cheaper, child-friendly versions of musical instruments such as xylophones, ukuleles, banjos, and guitars. They were founded in the late 1800s by Albert Schoenhut, a German emigrant to the United States of America. The unique metal-bar-based design of the pianos made them a huge success, and this has paved the way for further innovative craftsmanship over scores of years.
At the New York International Toy Fair in 2013, they presented stylish and convenient new versions of their classic toy pianos and other musical playthings.
World Liberty TV was on hand and had the pleasure of seeing Hannah Reimann play many of the Schoenhut Toy Pianos as we taped her live for Our World Liberty TV Games & Toys Channel.
