Forbes Interviews the Maloof family
When you come from a family of entrepreneurs, you really have no choice but to take business ventures straight on. That is exactly how it is for the Maloof family. Their history dates back to 1892, when Joe Maloof opened a small general store in northern New Mexico. By the 1930s, the family had acquired the distribution rights to Coors Beer and subsequently established Quality Imports. In 1944, after Joe's passing, son George J. Maloof, only 21 years old at the time, assumed responsibility for the Maloof Companies.
