April was a busy month at Doggie Cakes as we painted, cleaned, ordered fixtures, learned about local procedures and permits, and purchased items for the boutique.
Hopefully we are just three inspections away from opening. Until then and for the foreseeable future you can shop from Doggie Cakes at the New Port Richey Farmer’s Market. Saturday’s 9 AM – 1 PM. Cavalaire Square, located just east of Grand Boulevard between Missouri and Nebraska Avenues. This map is pretty close to the Square. See you soon.
The market and other upcoming events are by Greater New Port Richey Main Street.
