History

Established in 2010.

If you’ve heard a story about our beginnings, it was more than likely a tale of one person overcoming a corporate layoff. While this is true, it’s not the whole story…

King of Pops was conceived overlooking the beach in Central America. Three brothers, born of a fruit-​smoothie-​loving mother, were talking about life and love, but mainly paletas.

For the next few years, these three gringos day-​dreamed of bringing paletas, the fresh, all-​natural frozen pop they had fallen in love with, back to share in the U.S.

Eventually, Steven was laid off by AIG. Vacating the cubicle for the kitchen, Steven, with the help of brother Nick, family, and a handful of friends, started working out recipes.

After countless hours of experimentation, King of Pops opened its first car. The Poncey-​Highland location was a quick success.

Eventually, all-​night making sessions weren’t enough, Nick keft his stable job as a lawyer to work on what he and his little brother had dreamt together.

Business Owner

Steven founded King of Pops in the summer after losing his job during the massive AIG layoff. With the help of friends and family, hard work and a little bit of luck, King of Pops has evolved from a single cart in the Highlands.

Never getting to big for his briches, you can usually find him at the «corner» in the Poncey-​Highlands slinging pops and wearing his cowabunga hat and KoP t-​shirt.
