Back in October 2023, some of the team stopped by Pelican’s Snoballs at 919 N. Stone Ave. #1104 to check out their New Orleans-inspired shaved ice treats. Then, in November 2023, the shop temporarily closed for the winter.
Now, Desiree Jones and the team are ready to reopen the doors during an official Grand Reopening celebration beginning at noon on Saturday, March 2 — with freebies, too.
Grand Reopening Party
They’ll be offering free Kiddie Snoballs, which include two flavors, to the first 100 customers. Sweet!
Pelican’s Snoballs has more than 100 flavors on the menu including the traditional Coconut, Blueberry, Black Cherry, Banana, etc., but if you’re feeling like living on the wild side, get one of the more unique flavors. Make it a Wedding Cake or an Egg Custard flavored snoball, why don’t you?
If I’m feeling like a Wild Thang (that’s also a flavor on the menu), I typically go for the Toothpaste flavored snoball (an actual option). I’ve got the freshest breath in town after one of those brain-freezers.
Pelican’s Snoballs is located at 919 N. Stone Ave. #1104. For more information, visit pelicanssnoballs.com and follow Pelican’s Snoballs on Instagram.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
