More importantly, look what this firm does: http://www.curacubby.com. They help schools and camps collect registrations and tuition money. Guess EP is attractive because of the ease of getting bilingual employees and the potential growth of charter school options. Nothing on their website positions them as a digital marketing and customer rewards entity. Odd they are being described that way.
What you have is a case of cut-and-paste management. Curacubby is an education solutions company. Five Stars is the loyalty company that was previously given tax breaks. It looks like city staff used the same paperwork they used for Five Stars and forgot to change the business description. City council reps didn’t even notice the error or didn’t care.
El Paso leaders continue to value companies and people from elsewhere more than it does companies and people that have been investing in the community for decades.
We know city council reps and city management read this blog, but no one is answering these questions. They choose not to answer any of the questions posted here.

What happened to Fivestars? There is no evidence that they have an office here. How many people do they have working here?
