By House of Pops
Since its humble beginnings in 2018 with a single bike at Dubai’s Ripe Market, House of Pops has grown into a regional powerhouse, transforming the frozen dessert landscape. Co-founded by Mazen Kanaan and Marcela Sancho, the company is renowned for its commitment to health, sustainability, and pure indulgence. Offering 100% natural, plant-based pops, House of Pops embodies the ethos of “happiness on a stick,” winning over hearts across the GCC and beyond.
House of Pops has carved out a unique niche with its vibrant kiosks and a product line catering to diverse dietary preferences, including vegan, keto, and gluten-free options – without compromising on taste.
The brand has established itself as a retail leader with a presence in six channels, including a growing number of regional franchises, supermarkets and even schools.
As the first ice cream brand in the region to offer plastic-free packaging, it champions sustainability alongside deliciousness.
The heart of House of Pops lies in its innovative flavours, each crafted to bring joy and perhaps a nudge of nostalgia. From fruity classics to indulgent combinations, the brand has disrupted the market, introducing seasonal and culturally resonant flavours like rose fig for Ramadan and pink lemonade for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Customers also love the sense of community at its kiosks, which radiate positivity and eco-conscious vibes.
Looking ahead, House of Pops is expanding its franchise network, scaling production and introducing new product lines. Its story reflects not only entrepreneurial grit but also a passion for wellness and the environment.
As a people-first business, it has paved the way for innovative brands in the region, showing that success can align with consumer happiness and planet care.
