THOUGHTFUL HUMANS CREATING SOMETHING COOL TOGETHER
For 15 years, our team has been hand-crafting pops and helping franchisees build thriving businesses. We know what works, what doesn’t, and we’re here to guide you on your franchise journey. As a Cartreprenuer, you’ll join a network of humans making the most of each day—enjoying their work, their time, and their community. A pop franchise may not be a silver bullet to wealth, but it is a meaningful opportunity to grow revenue, connect locally, and create moments of happiness along the way.
You’ll probably feel really good behind a cart if you:
- Dream of owning a business, but want a proven process and product
- Want to do work you love, not just collect a paycheck
- Have a small amount of funds to invest and are willing to put in the work
- Want to reclaim your time and have flexibility to work with friends and family

FRANCHISEE LOVE FOR KING OF POPS

“I started my franchise journey while still in school. The pops are great, but what really drew me in was being able to grow something with a team behind me. The days are sweaty and tiring, but they always remind me why I do this—the people, the vibes, the good times.”
Josie, Midtown Savannah / KOP Cartrepreneur

“The best part of being a Cartrepreneur is the unlimited opportunity to meet and work with so many great people. From grand openings and weddings to cancer fundraisers and exciting pop-ups—we even met a guy who drives a banana car around the country.”
Mark and Stephanie, Fernandina Beach / KOP Cartrepreneur

WHY WE'RE FRANCHISING
We've been in the business of creating UMOHs (Unexpected Moments of Happiness) since 2010. We've had a lot of success and have built a beloved Southern Brand. For years, folks have asked us if they could buy a cart from us and sell pops in their community. We were flattered but always politely said "no thanks."
Our sentiment changed in 2020 as Covid-19 quickly changed everything. We knew that there would be a lot of amazing people out of work or in a difficult financial position, eager for an opportunity to grow a business.
While we still operate a fleet of carts in Midtown Atlanta, we decided to create an opportunity for franchisees to operate in their own neighborhoods.

From Festivals to Front Yards
Our cart does not need to be plugged in and can be set up nearly anywhere. We sell at some of the biggest festivals in the country (Governor's Ball, Bonnaroo, etc.), have thousands of established catering contacts, and access to dozens of parks, stadiums and corporate opportunities.
Build on what's already established and add your ideas to the mix - Burning Man themed Bar Mitzvah, Catering for Vin Diesel and crew at the next Fast & Furious movie, International Pillow Fight Day, or your Great Aunt Lucy's 100th Birthday ... you get the idea.

A POP YOU CAN BE PROUD OF
We've made hundreds of flavors over the years and continue to innovate. We are focused on sustainability, and push ourselves to work with as many amazing local growers and producers (including our own farm King of Crops) as possible.
Our partners are the first to get new flavors and help us build excitement around them.

It's our company purpose, and it's what keeps us more excited than ever about our business 10+ years into it.
We'd love your help spreading happiness across the South.
HELP US CREATE UNEXPECTED MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS
The perfect opportunity for your family!
