Hugo Salinas Price (born March 11, 1932) is a Mexican business magnate, investor, and philanthropist. He is the founder of Mexico's Elektra retail chain.
Salinas was born on March 11, 1932[2] in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, his mother's home town.[3] His uncle Benjamin Salinas Westrup, along with his step-brother Joel Rocha, founded the furniture company Salinas y Rocha, which grew rapidly thanks to the possibility to pay with credit.[4]
Elektra began as a factory assembling electronic appliances for the Salinas y Rocha chain, a national retailer of appliances. Hugo Salinas Price became director of the company in 1952, and opened its first store Elektra in 1959. Elektra then set up a direct sales operation offering appliances on installments. By 1968, Elektra had opened 12 stores nationwide. Hugo Salinas Price retired from the company in 1987, leaving the 59-store retail network to his son Ricardo Salinas Pliego.[4]
