Possibly becase many of them also serve the local Latino population, who
use a lot of the canned meats in everyday cooking. Most of the bigger
Asian markets I've been in (Lotte, Korean Corner, International Market,
etc.) around here also have a sizeable Goya and/or Herdez selection,
along with various other Latino goodies scattered through the store.
Often many Latin folks on the staff, as well.
