New ice cream shop opening in San Luis on May 29
Taco Rolls Ice Cream PR will open May 29 at Eddie’s Food & Drink, adding a new San Luis storefront backed by Arizona Western College’s business support network.
A new ice cream stop is set to open at Eddie’s Food & Drink in San Luis just as holiday-weekend traffic builds, giving the east end of town another family draw and a new small-business tenant at 4492 E County 24th St.
Taco Rolls Ice Cream PR is scheduled to open May 29 inside the open-air food hall, a launch tied to Arizona Western Entrepreneurial College’s Small Business Development Center. The opening will include a gift for the first 50 people, a sign that the shop is being introduced as a community event as much as a new dessert counter.
The business backing matters as much as the storefront. Arizona Western College’s Small Business Development Center says it provides bilingual English-Spanish advising, resource assistance and training for entrepreneurs in Yuma and La Paz counties, with a mission of helping preserve and create small-business jobs and revenue while supporting capital formation. In practical terms, that makes Taco Rolls Ice Cream PR more than a novelty opening. It is another example of local business support turning into a visible retail operation that residents can visit and vendors can build around.
San Luis is a strong test market for that kind of concept. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the city’s population reached 42,030 on July 1, 2025, up from 35,257 in the 2020 census, and 92.4% of residents are Hispanic or Latino. That growth and demographic profile help explain why a family-oriented food concept could find room to grow in a city where consumer demand has been rising steadily.
Eddie’s Food & Drink gives the shop built-in foot traffic. The venue describes itself as an open-air food hall and entertainment destination with six kitchens, games, music and shaded seating, a mix that can help a new vendor reach families, students and visitors without having to create its own standalone draw from scratch. For Eddie’s, the ice cream shop adds another reason for customers to linger. For Taco Rolls, it offers a ready-made crowd.
The timing may help even more. The San Luis Municipal Pool is also opening for the season on May 29, which could increase weekend activity in town and send more people past nearby businesses. In a city watching closely for new investment, Taco Rolls Ice Cream PR is a tangible addition, one that ties local entrepreneurship, neighborhood foot traffic and downtown-style energy into a single storefront.
