Tucson's iconic La Estrella Bakery is preparing to open its 4th shop
Family-owned La Estrella Bakery is set to open its first downtown location since launching on Tucson's south side nearly 40 years ago. Tucucanian-owned La Estrella Bakery, a 39-year-old family-owned bakery, is set to open its fourth location in downtown Tucson, with an 800-square-foot storefront across the street from St. Augustine Cathedral on South Stone Avenue. The opening date for the new location has not yet been announced. The Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce announced the opening of the new store late in the week. This is the fourth location for La Estrello, marking the first downtown opening for the family-run bakery.

The "coming soon" sign is on the front door of La Estrella Bakery's new downtown location, an 800-square-foot storefront across the street from St. Augustine Cathedral on South Stone Avenue.
It is the fourth location for the 39-year-old family-owned bakery and the first downtown.
An opening date has not been announced, but the Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, in a late Wednesday Instagram post, excitedly announced the store's pending opening.
"Get ready to indulge in delicious treats right in the heart of our city," the post stated.
La Estrella Bakery has been a cornerstone of Tucson's Mexican bakery scene since Antonio and Marta Franco opened the flagship bakery at 5266 S. 12th Ave. in 1985.
The couple would raise their four children to adulthood before opening a second at the Mercado District, 100 S. Avenida del Convento, in 2011.
Ten years later, they opened a second west side location at the old El Rio Bakery, 901 N. Grande Ave., where Marta and Antonio learned to bake soon after emigrating to Tucson from their native Mexico in the early 1970s.
