About: 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.

After countless hours of experimentation, full of success and failure, King of Pops opened its first cart, much like the ones that had inspired the brothers years before. The Poncey-Highland location was a quick success. In addition to selling a lot of pops, Steven also met Gabriella Oviedo, who enthusiastically stepped in to help keep up with demand.

Eventually, all-night making sessions weren’t enough, and it was time for Nick to come on board full time. Leaving his stable job as a lawyer to work on what he and his little brother had dreamt together.
