Seattle Pops

What Seattle Pops does

Seattle Pops is a Seattle-based, women and family-owned frozen popsicle manufacturer and retailer founded in 2014. The company produces all-natural, handcrafted pops at its Wallingford flagship using organic and locally sourced ingredients from Pacific Northwest farms and producers, including Lopez Island Creamery for its dairy base. Its product portfolio is split between 100% vegan fruity pops (60–150 calories) made with real fruit and organic cane sugar, and creamy pops (175–300 calories) using a milk base, with seasonal flavors rotating alongside core offerings such as Very Strawberry, Zesty Lime, Orange Cream, Cookies & Cream, Coconut Cream, and Blueberries & Cream.

The company operates a multi-channel distribution model anchored by a single brick-and-mortar flagship store at 1401 N 45th St in Wallingford (open daily 11am–9pm, now offering espresso drinks), seasonal farmers markets across Seattle neighborhoods, e-commerce bulk ordering (25–500+ pops with 7-day advance notice and optional dry-ice packaging), wholesale distribution to retail stores in the Puget Sound area (minimum 6-case orders, UPC-coded singles and 4-pack boxes), and mobile catering for events. Wholesale pricing is structured at $43.80 per case of 12 single pops and $48.00 per case of 4-pack boxes, with bulk orders starting at $145 for 25 pops and catering requiring a 150-pop minimum.

Named enterprise catering clients include Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Climate Pledge Arena, alongside regional summer festivals such as Timberfest and Ballard Seafood Fest. The company has built community ties through long-running programs including the Scholar Poppers scholarship (since 2018), the Trick-or-Can food drive with FamilyWorks Resource Center (over 4,000 pounds of food collected since 2018), and COVID-19-era donations of 700+ pops to healthcare workers and $12,000+ to local nonprofits. The firm is OMWBE-certified as a women-owned business in Washington State, with no disclosed external funding, institutional investors, or acquisition activity.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Talenti Gelato: National premium gelato and sorbetto brand owned by Unilever, sold through grocery and mass retail. Comparable as a premium frozen dessert incumbent, though at vastly larger scale and with mass-market distribution.
• Salt & Straw Ice Cream: Artisanal ice cream brand with multiple scoop shops, DTC shipping, and a chef-driven flavor program. Comparable in premium positioning, in-house production, and community-driven brand building, though broader in product mix.
• Häagen-Dazs: Global premium ice cream and frozen dessert brand. Comparable as a premium frozen dessert brand occupying the same freezer aisle Seattle Pops competes in at wholesale, though at a vastly larger scale and broader product mix.
• Outshine (Nestlé): National fruit-based frozen bar brand from Nestlé. Directly comparable to Seattle Pops' fruity pops in product form and grocery channel, but competing with significantly larger marketing and distribution scale.
• Van Leeuwen Ice Cream: Premium ice cream brand with scoop shops, grocery distribution, and DTC e-commerce. Comparable as a premium frozen dessert with vegan and dairy offerings, upscale branding, and national wholesale presence.
• Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams: Premium, direct-to-consumer ice cream brand with retail scoop shops, online shipping, and wholesale. Comparable to Seattle Pops as a premium, ingredient-led frozen dessert brand with a flagship retail strategy, though operating at much larger scale.

Others

• SweetGreen (frozen dessert line / similar DTC frozen treats): While not a frozen dessert brand, SweetGreen is comparable as a mission-driven, locally-sourced, premium food brand with strong community positioning and DTC-plus-wholesale model. Provides a comp on how a values-led food brand scales beyond a single city.

Direct peers

• Chloe's Fruit: Clean-label, fruit-based frozen pops made with real fruit and minimal ingredients. Directly comparable to Seattle Pops' vegan fruity line in both ingredient philosophy and frozen-popsicle form factor.
• Coolhaus: Premium, artisanal frozen dessert brand (ice cream sandwiches, pops) sold DTC, wholesale, and via catering/food trucks. Highly comparable to Seattle Pops in product positioning, multi-channel model, and chef-driven flavor innovation.
• Frozen Fruit Co: Real-fruit frozen bars distributed nationally in grocery and convenience channels. Comparable to Seattle Pops' wholesale UPC singles and 4-pack SKUs and to its clean-label fruit positioning.
