On her 14th birthday in 2020, Junie Brewer was handed the keys to a snow cone stand—a gift that was not only a gesture, but a vote of confidence from her family.

Now 19, Brewer’s hot pink snow cone stand, Junie B’s Snowcones, has become a staple in the New Caney community and gained a loyal local following.

Named after herself, Brewer said she designed Junie B’s with her mother to captivate her essence and spread the word of God through scriptures displayed throughout the snow cone stand.

As a New Caney resident herself, Brewer said the most rewarding part about owning a snow cone stand is being able to serve families in the same community where she grew up and watch them grow with her business.


“We still have the same customers from the first season we opened. And, now they're basically like family,” Brewer said.
