Top Latino-Owned Businesses in OKC for Hispanic Heritage Month
Did you know Latinos are the fastest-growing segment of new entrepreneurs, with one in four new businesses being Hispanic owned? This shows great growth for Hispanic businesses, and as Oklahomans we have some amazing Hispanic owned businesses right here in our backyard. I love Oklahoma, and as a Hispanic-owned company, I am so grateful for the people of this city and state who, together with local businesses, continue to make our state great. Sept. 15 through Oct. 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month in OKC, and as we celebrate, check out 4 of my favorite local Latino-owned businesses:
- Que Bella Bakery — Oklahoma’s Premier Gluten-Free BakeryIf you are gluten-free or know someone who is, then this is the place for
you. We are a completely gluten-free bakery specializing in gluten-free desserts. We also accommodate dairy-free and vegan customers by providing daily dessert options for these allergies.My goal at Que Bella Bakery is to provide someone who is living with food allergies with the same experiences as others without the fear of being ill. I believe no matter the occasion, you can have gluten-free treats that are moist, beautiful and most of all delicious. We have cake slices and cookies available daily, as well as custom cakes to be ordered ahead of time and picked up in-store. Next time you want a delicious treat, visit us in downtown Oklahoma City.
