Bring joy to your community with a low-cost, mobile frozen pop franchise.
Brand overview
Founded in Cincinnati in 2011 by Sara Bornick, Streetpops grew from a single community event into a 15-year, fully founder-owned brand. Sara combined her graphic design background, culinary training, and European flavor inspiration to recreate the pure joy of a frozen treat without artificial additives, colors, or unnecessary ingredients. Today, Streetpops operates beautifully branded carts and trucks serving award-winning, all-natural handcrafted ice pops at community events, corporate gatherings, and weddings.

Training & support
Owners receive comprehensive training during a dedicated week at headquarters in Cincinnati covering all aspects of the business. The program is specifically built around common areas where new owners get stuck so you can operate with absolute confidence. Because your product arrives ready-to-sell through the Streetpops kitchen, PopLabs Manufacturing, you will never need to handle food prep or kitchen work yourself.
Ideal candidate
We seek individuals looking for a flexible mobile food business that fits around another career or family commitments, as well as those driven to build a scalable multi-unit operation. No prior food or restaurant experience is required to succeed. From day one to year five, Streetpops gives you the tools and training to operate with confidence and make something parents feel good about handing to their kids.
