ANAHEIM, California — Al crecer en México, Rubén Jiménez aprendió a hacer paletas desde cero, ayudando a su padre y a su abuelo, que eran paleteros, a fabricar y vender las populares paletas heladas en su tienda o en carritos.Jiménez, de 35 años, ha convertido la modesta tradición familiar en un creciente imperio de paletas mexicanas: “La Michoacana Plus” tiene más de 85 franquicias en todo Estados Unidos, en California, Arizona, Texas, Oregon, Louisiana, Oklahoma y Mississippi, y sus vibrantes tiendas ofrecen más de 100 sabores de paletas heladas y más de 50 sabores de helado en lugares tan lejanos como Guatemala e incluso en Dubai, Emiratos Árabes Unidos, donde abrió la primera paletería del país el año pasado y planea abrir una segunda. En un país conocido por su calor y donde la gente no bebe alcohol pero aman los dulces, las paletas han sido un éxito, dijo Jiménez.
