Mempops celebrates five years of fresh fruit and cream popsicles this weekend! I remember when these guys were just one little converted mail truck, passing out popsicles in parking lots. 

Now, they have three brick-and-mortar locations and a mobile fleet of carts and trucks that hang out at parks and events around town.

To say thank you, MEMPops will offer $2 pops at all their locations this weekend only. It’s grab ’n’ go only, and be sure to wear your masks and social distance.
