CATALINA FOOTHILLS, Ariz. — Polishing a bracelet, Urv Cox reflected on the last fifty years that he’s known the owner of Desert Son, Steve Osborne. It's located at 4759 E Sunrise Drive in Tucson.“We always seem to get along. Our friendship would come and go but it’s been pretty steady the whole time,” Cox said. “Had a lot of good times together.”
“He knows how to buy things. He knows how to merchandise things, and he’s lucky,” Cox said about his friend.“Coral on one side, and turquoise on the other in one necklace. It’s fairly rare,” Cox commented on one of the necklaces. “The thing that’s made the store last so long is the quality of our merchandise and our fair pricing. That’s why we have so many repeat businesses,” he said.
Cox said they don’t know when the store is closing because they still have to find a seller. In the meantime they are having a sale.
