Frios Gourmet Pops

Ownership

Frios is a franchise where the owner Cliff bought a franchise in 2018 and purchased the entire company, making it a national franchise system rather than Madison-resident owned or independent.

Local Sourcing

Frios Gourmet Pops offer pops made from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, but pops are manufactured at the Alabama headquarters and shipped to franchises, creating an unknown mix of sourcing practices.

Community Involvement

Frios donated $1 from every pop sold at select events to Make-A-Wish, and offers fundraising programs with schools and nonprofits, indicating some community investment, though specific local ties to Waunakee/Madison are unclear.
