Glenn: Here's a question we get from tourists a lot.

Jorge: What in the heck are those COW STORES?

Glenn: The Farm Stores Express are great places for picking up milk, soda, beer or snacks. The Miami stores carry a complete selection of Cuban snacks: Chifles, meringues, Maria cookies, Cuban crackers, Jupiña - even a decent loaf of Cuban bread.

Jorge: And the best thing is, you never have to leave your car! Just drive up, roll down the window, and tell them what you nt.

Raúl: Cubans call them "La Vaquita" (the little cow). You'll find them all over Miami. Many are open 24 hours a day. As far as we know, these stores are only located in Florida.

Jorge: The stores began way back in 1957, when there just weren't that many Cubans in Miami. The company's patented double drive-thru, full-service markets now include more than 100 stores.

Glenn: The concept would never work in Minnesota. Maybe in the summer, but not in the winter at 20 degrees below zero!

Jorge: That would give an entirely new meaning to the term FROZEN foods!

Raúl: There are about 50 stores in the Miami area.

Glenn: They're all over the place. Just look for the giant cow sign.

Jorge: Here's a little tip: If you are traveling with kids, and they have never been to the "little cow" pull through and buy something just for the heck of it.

Glenn: They sell soft serve ice cream now, so get the kids a cone.

Raúl: Kids always get a big kick out of the Cow Stores.
