He didn’t just flee communism.
He turned exile into empire.
In this episode of Miami Unveiled, Fred Menachem sits down with Maximo Alvarez — the founder of Sunshine Gasoline and one of Miami’s most quietly influential figures — to tell the story behind the stations.
But this isn’t about gas.
It’s about gratitude.
At 13, Maximo was sent alone to the U.S. through Operation Pedro Pan.
He arrived with nothing. No English. No family. No roadmap.
Only faith — and the wisdom of two parents willing to give up everything so their son could live free.
In this rare conversation, Maximo reflects on the price of liberty, the dignity of labor, and the deeper definition of wealth. From citrus groves to gasoline, from Catholic school to boardroom, from grief to grace — his life is a testament to what’s possible when survival becomes purpose.
This isn’t just a business episode.
It’s a spiritual one.
A story about what it means to belong to this city,
and to repay the freedom that made it possible.
