Day to Day Operations
Here is an FAQ section that we are constantly updating as people ask new questions. We are an open book. If we're allowed to answer legally - we will!
Where can I sell?
Franchisees are expected to focus on selling within their territory.
That said, if there’s an event in a territory without an active owner—or if the territory owner gives you permission—you’re welcome to jump in. This can be great for travel festivals or to test the waters in a new area before committing.
Just keep in mind: at any point, that territory could be sold, and your ability to sell there would end immediately.
How do I order pops?
We’ve built an easy-to-use online ordering portal where you can browse available flavors and place your orders.
Can I sell your products alongside other products?
The core of your business will be selling King of Pops—our signature line of handcrafted pops.
We offer a mix of full-time flavors and an evolving menu of rotating limited-time offerings, so there’s always something new and exciting to share with your customers.
You’ll also have access to:
-
Prince of Pops – smaller-sized pops, perfect for kids or events
-
King of Pups – dog-friendly pops for our four-legged fans
-
Soft Serve Mix – ideal for select setups or events
-
Slushy & Cocktail Mixes – great for kid-friendly frozen drinks or grown-up cocktails
What if someone wants me to cater their event?
Inbound requests are great and one area we differentiate from a lot of dessert franchise opportunities. We will work to supply leads to supplement the groundwork you are doing. You’ll get requests for prepaid events and manage them through our company CRM.
If the event is in your territory, it's all yours.
If it’s in someone else’s territory, check with that partner first. We coordinate all of this through our CRM so nothing falls through the cracks.
Do I have to sell from a cart?
Yes, you should be primarily selling from the cart. You are also able to deliver pops directly to customers, and to wholesale customers.
Are the King of Pops carts considered food trucks? What additional permitting may be required?
Nope—our pops are prepackaged, which typically makes the permitting process easier than a food truck.
That said, rules vary by location, so you’ll want to check on specific rules and regulations in your area.
💃🏻How much fun will I have?
On a scale from 1️⃣ to 🔟, it's a 🔥.
It’s hard work—but there are more than enough chances to laugh, meet awesome people, and have a blast doing it.
