inmaricopa.com: How did you decide to get into this business, and why in Maricopa?

Poco Loco: We are artists at heart and love home decorating. We felt Maricopa was an up and coming city. We want to be your neighborhood store that you can run in for a gift or if you are in need of a floral arrangement for your next dinner party. The affordable housing brought us here just like everyone else. We love Maricopa; it has a sense of community like no other city! And we wanted to be a part of that, not only in our business but also in our family life. We wanted to give back by giving to the Seeds of Change Gala and the Salsa Festival.
