Never heard of this chain, but its popular in New York and Detroit will be their first Midwest outpost.

New York-based popsicle chain Popbar is expanding into Michigan, with the chain announcing a Detroit location set to break ground this year.While the exact location of the store has not yet been revealed, the company says more metro Detroit locations will follow.
“We choose to grow at a measured pace by hand-selecting franchisees to maintain our core values — superior quality, in-house production, authenticity, and family-friendly fun,” Popbar founder Reuben BenJehuda said in a press release. “And we’re happy to enter the Detroit market!”

Ah, the beauty [?] of American enterprise. Take a simple cheap-to-make product, rebrand it as gourmet, and charge a ridiculous price for it. Starbucks blazed that trail.

Agreed...

This place is one of my favorites and they're locally owned and operated. You can bring it up on Google for more information.

Yes, how's about that. The beauty is also as little governmental interference as possible. I will have to check it out.

I'll try one - as long as they're still a nickel.

You're going to pay way more than that! How about anywhere from $5-$10 dollars?

We've had Sugar Factory, Jojo's Shake Bar, Mr. Dips, a peach cobbler store coming soon and now a gourmet popsicle chain? I hope the new Henry Ford development has a diabetes wing.
