Cones for Bones , Tucson’s first dog ice cream parlor, is reopening next weekend and almost ready to serve pup-cones to all of man’s best friends.
It’s all thanks to two Latina entrepreneurs who are dedicated to creating a welcoming space for pet owners and their dogs.
Co-owners Celena Santa Cruz and Mayra Cuadra-Port have taken over the business and are excited to put their own spin on the doggie dessert shop.
The duo met as vendors at the shop’s events and quickly realized their shared passion for the pet community.
“We were her top-selling vendors, so when Virginia, the previous owner, approached us with the opportunity to buy the business, we thought, ‘Why not?’” Santa Cruz explained. “It’s not every day that someone offers you an amazing store with so much potential.”
Both women bring their unique businesses into the new venture.
Santa Cruz, who runs Luna Zen , offers CBD products for pets and people. She focuses on helping pets with anxiety, arthritis, and other ailments.
