Creating Unexpected Moments Of Happiness

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Steven Carse, Co - Founder of King of Pops, located in Atlanta, GA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Originating from a conversation between three brothers on an epic trip through Central America, King of Pops has transformed from a dream into reality. Since 2010, King of Pops has produced All-Natural, Hand Crafted Pops. The company has dedicated itself to being a positive food influencer, relentless community supporter, and generator of Unexpected Moments of Happiness (UMoHs). Committed to the Southern region of the United States, King of Pops strives to make a great impact on the place it has coined as home. King of Pops is available for online purchase and is located at several bars around the South. The company also offers full-service catering and franchising opportunities. Headquarters is located at 552 Decatur Street SE, Atlanta, GA 30312.

Tell us about yourself

King of Pops started with a couple of thousand bucks, a used ice cream pushcart, and a whole lot of luck.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

We work hard to get fruit and dairy from the best local farms. If there is a fruit in season in the South, we will be doing everything we can to feature it in a pop. From Pearson peaches in Georgia to raspberries from Agriberry in Virginia, we are constantly searching for new partners. We also team up with local businesses (like coffee roasters and bakeries). And whatever food waste is left over is composted locally at King of Compost on our farm. Since the beginning, we've relied on local farms and farmers' markets to get our ingredients. We started our own farm, King of Crops, to learn and teach others about sustainable farming. We hope to start more farms in the South and continue to find new partners that align with our values. Please let us know if you ever have any ideas to further this mission.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

We work really hard to be an example of a business doing good. Our purpose is to create Unexpected Moments of Happiness. Come have a pop, stop by our farm, or do some yoga with us. Mainly we just hope you're doing great.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Our success is due to amazing community support (which we've received since day one). We do our best to respond to that support with love, gratitude, and some laughs.
