Ohio's Sweet Legacy: Women-Owned Sweet Memories Tees & Marpro Cones Unite for Nostalgia & Giving
Ohio Pen/10286403

CINCINNATI - OhioPen -- Two Ohio-born brands, both woman-owned and rooted in nostalgia, are teaming up to bring the past to life in the sweetest way possible. Sweet Memories Vintage Tees, the retro-inspired apparel brand, is thrilled to announce its partnership with Marpro Marshmallow Cones, the historic candy that has delighted generations for nearly a century.

This collaboration isn't just about t-shirts and treats—it's about celebrating history, community, and the kind of sweet memories that never fade.

Founded in 1936 by John V. Arbino, Marpro's Marshmallow-Filled Ice Cream Cone became an iconic penny candy, a staple in candy shops and childhoods across the country. After changing hands over the years, Marpro Marshmallow Cone Inc. is now proudly women-owned and still producing the classic confections in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Meanwhile, Sweet Memories Vintage Tees has made a name for itself by blending classic Americana and confectionery history into stylish, high-quality apparel. With this partnership, the two brands are bringing together the best of both worlds: a taste of nostalgia and a touch of timeless style.
