Good Pops
Good Purpose

One scorching Austin, TX summer day back in 2009, University of Texas student Daniel Goetz needed something refreshing. Daniel couldn’t think of any options other than the Austin summertime staple, the sno-cone. At the sno-cone stand, he asked, “What’s in that syrup?” The employee responded with a shoulder shrug.

Craving a more wholesome, delicious treat, Daniel searched out places who carried traditional Mexican-style paletas naturales or natural frozen fruit bars. What he found put him in a similar predicament: artificial flavoring, coloring and ingredients he couldn’t pronounce.

Daniel loves Austin and thought the city deserved better. Two months later, GoodPop hit the market… well, the farmers market. It wasn’t long before his GoodPops became a hit at 4 Austin markets, which are some of the most discerning farmers markets in the country.

Since those humble beginnings, GoodPop’s wholesome, mouthwatering frozen treats are available in retailers across all 50 states and online.

We’re here for those who Crave A World Of Good™. You see, in addition to GoodPop’s good… pops (see what we did there), our company mission is to also Do Good in communities across the US. Over the years, GoodPop has partnered with countless non-profits and organizations. From this, the Pledge Good Foundation was formed!
