Company

We make premium ice popsicles using only the finest natural ingredients. Based in South West London we supply over 2,000 stockists in the UK, export to 7 territories and have a satelitte office in Melbourne, Australia.

Recently we have partnered with Pimm's and Diageo to produce a range of licensed products under the household name's branding.

There are many exciting NPD launch and developments in the pipeline as we continue to grow both in the UK and abroad.

You’ve probably read plenty of perfect founder stories before. If only we could say the same. POPS wasn’t built on business plans and finance but two friends and a freezer. After months of melted mishaps and the sort of learning curve you need a pickaxe to climb, POPS was born. 

Since then we’ve sold our goodies for grown-ups all over the world, teamed up with some of the biggest brands and have plenty more ideas fresh out the freezer. It just shows, sometimes it pays to BREAK THE ICE…

Founded in 2014, our goodies for grown-ups are made in Britain with natural, premium ingredients and dash of real alcohol.

In July 2017, POPS partnered with Pimm’s, a Diageo brand, to launch the world’s first Pimm’s popsicle.

The range now features four frozen cocktails: BELLINI, WATERMELON MARTINI, PIMM'S and GORDON’S Gin & Lime (March 2019). They are dairy-free and gluten-free with a premium sorbet texture.
