King of Pops Blog

We've all tried really hard to make birthdays in the time of COVID not feel like birthdays in the time of COVID, but when it comes down to it, they've felt just really sad. 

As the world turned upside down in March so suddenly, we found ourselves trying to find our best role in the midst of the chaos. How could we best serve our customers when our usual methods of getting them pops had disappeared? How could we help our hurting community? 

Last summer, my eight-year-old entrepreneur, Wells, set up a booth at our local farmers' market to sell her “hair detangling spray” (salt water with a cute crayon-drawn label). Her market neighbor happened to be a King of Pops pushcart, and this seemed to be the ultimate validation: she must be a real business because she was next-door to King of Pops!! The slinger let her use their chalk to draw some marketing jargon on the sidewalk, and the support she felt left a huge impression on her. She was a real business lady.
