Description: Hawaii’s first eco-zen-spaw COCOJOR EMPORIUM & SPAW, (URL removed), is celebrating its media open house Thursday, September 22 from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM and grand opening Saturday, September 24 from 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM located at 975 Kapiolani Blvd. Monica Shigenaga, owner and founder of Cocojor Emporium & SPAW has creatively and ingeniously intertwined the human and dog spaw experience. Man and his best friend are welcome to relax and rejuvenate side-by-side at COCOJOR EMPORIUM & SPAW.   Since 2002, Shigenaga has created an array of luxury services and award-winning products for man’s best friend. Now with COCOJOR EMPORIUM & SPAW, Monica pampers both the canine and their owner. Cocojor’s signature service, the Minicle Microbubble Treatment leaves the pooch clean, detoxed and anxiety free; while the Massage Scrub Therapy rejuvenates and detoxifies the owner. The body treatments can be enjoyed with or without the pooch’s presence. Services start at $25.00. COCOJOR EMPORIUM & SPAW is more than just a human friendly dog spaw. This SPAW boasts numerous amenities to keep the dog and owner coming back for seconds. The Barkery Internet Cafe, Boutique Doggie Daycare, and Organic Herb Garden are only a few of the SPAW’s world-class features. The Barkery serves an array of healthy and savory doggie and human treats that will satisfy the most selective taste buds including low calorie options for the dieting doggie. Enjoy basking in the sun with your furry companion? Soak in Hawaii’s pure vitamin D in the all natural herb garden. However, if you are one of the many working pet owners with no time for pooch walking, let Cocojor do the work. Cocojor’s chauffeur service will pick up your K-9 and treat them to free roaming doggie daycare lavished with affection, games and exercise. COCOJOR EMPORIUM & SPAW is a spaw for today’s modern dog and their busy owner. # # # Shigenaga is a certified canine specialist with over twenty years of experience in the pet industry.
