Manuel Capó, Founder of El Dorado Furniture, Will Be Honored with a Street Name in the City of Miami

MIAMI--(Business Wire)--
Manuel Capó, who recently passed away, will be honored by the City of Miami on
Saturday, August 29, 2009 at 11:00 AM by naming a street after him on Miami's
Calle 8.

The street named "Manolo Capó Way" will be at the location of his first Store at
Miami`s "Little Havana". This is located at S.W. 25th Avenue between SW 7 St.
and SW 8 St. Manuel founded his furniture business "El Dorado Furniture" right
here 42 years ago.

This street not only represents the location of his first store but the meaning
of the American Dream. Manuel and 2 of his seven sons fled Cuba in 1966 in
search of Freedom on a small boat he named "El Dorado". Just 7 months after
arriving in the U.S., Manuel started his business with help from the Small
Business Administration.

Today, El Dorado has eleven stores in the South Florida market, with over 700
employees; it is among the top fifty U.S. furniture retailers in the country and
the largest Hispanic-owned Furniture Company in the U.S.

Manuel was an example of the success that can come from hard work and
dedication. He was always committed to his roots and was loyal to the community
that saw his company grow. His contributions, to the community, directly and
indirectly, are immeasurable.

There will be a brief ceremony to unveil the street sign followed by some
refreshments inside the store. All who wish to attend are invited to this
historic moment.
