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

CINCINNATI - Feb. 3, 2025 - PRLog -- 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.

"This collaboration is the perfect mix of Ohio's nostalgia, community and tradition," said Linda Barton, founder of Sweet Memories Vintage Tees. "Marpro Marshmallow Cones have been a part of so many childhoods, just like the iconic brands we celebrate on our tees. Now, we get to honor their legacy in a whole new way!"

To make this collaboration even sweeter, a portion of each shirt sold will benefit the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Akron Children's Hospital, supporting the tiniest members of the community and the families who love them.
