This transaction creates one of the leading candy store chains in the US, differentiated by its ability to enter markets with a 3-tiered approach. With a combined 35 stores and more coming, Lolli and Pops is looking to grow its portfolio of brands.
“Powell’s Sweet Shoppe has always been a great brand, but we’ve been missing structure and resources.
