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. [1] He got the "alien" theme from his "registered alien" designation as an immigrant. [3] Ramallo had an electrical business in Las Vegas before Alien Fresh Jerky but closed it in 2004 to pursue the company. [2] [4]
