Frios Gourmet Pops is a mobile frozen dessert franchise specializing in hand-poured, pre-packaged gourmet pops made with real fruit and high-quality ingredients. Founded in 2016, Frios expanded under new ownership in 2018, relocating its headquarters to Mobile, Alabama, where it refined operations and developed a flexible mobile business model. The introduction of the Frios Sweet Ride, a tie-dye branded van, transformed the business into a community-driven, on-the-go dessert experience, offering franchisees the freedom to operate without a traditional storefront.
Franchise owners operate in a low-cost, high-flexibility model, selling pre-packaged pops at events, parties, schools, hospitals, corporate gatherings, and wholesale locations. With no food prep or kitchen requirements, franchisees benefit from low overhead, simple operations, and minimal staffing needs. Frios offers a quick startup process, and franchisees receive ongoing training, marketing support, and operational guidance. Additionally, the brand is deeply involved in community partnerships, including fundraisers and nonprofit collaborations.
This franchise is ideal for outgoing, community-focused entrepreneurs who enjoy engaging with people and creating fun, memorable experiences. A background in sales, marketing, or customer service is helpful, but not required. Franchisees should be comfortable networking, booking events, and driving brand awareness in their local markets. With a low investment and high degree of flexibility, Frios is a great opportunity for those looking for a family-friendly, mobile business with a strong community presence.
