EL PASO, Texas (KTSM<\/a>) \u2014 Gozo\u2019s Ice Cream, known for its employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, has opened its second location in East El Paso.<\/p>\n

The grand opening of the newest location happened on Friday, Nov. 28, at 9640 Montwood Dr., Suite E200, across from Eastwood High School.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout 75 percent of our staff has a primary intellectual or developmental disability, and they do everything in the stores, from working the register, serving the ice cream, making our cones, making the ice cream, and any of the other goodies that you see at the store,\u201d El Paso Community Foundation Program Officer Adam Tirres said.<\/p>\n

The opening of its second location comes over a year after opening the original location in Downtown El Paso, at 601 N. Oregon St., Suite 1, and its location in the Texas State Capitol, in the office of state Rep. Mary Gonz\u00e1lez, D-Clint.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want individuals to come to our stores to interact with our employees and see all the joy that\u2019s been spread through our ice cream and through our employees,\u201d Tirres said. \u201cI think that\u2019s originally why the El Paso Community Foundation got behind this idea, is because we saw the value and potential that these adults have and that they want to present.\u201d<\/p>\n
