History
Luis Ramallo moved, with his family, to the United States from Argentina in 1988. In 2000, Ramallo created the company, with the help of his eldest son, Martin, and wife Susana. Its first stand was in Crystal Springs, Nevada at the intersection of US 93 and SR 318. He made $800 on his first day and continued to operate the stand for four months until the police asked to see his work permits. He got the "alien" theme from his "registered alien" designation as an immigrant. Ramallo had an electrical business in Las Vegas before Alien Fresh Jerky but closed it in 2004 to pursue the company.
