I know our community will absolutely love what we have to offer, and I’m excited to bring this experience to the Phoenix metropolitan area and serve our community along the way.” With its mission to sell happiness on a stick, Frios’ commitment to giving back to local communities stands at the forefront of the brand’s values. Each Frios owner, also known as a Happiness Hustler, pledges to donate and contribute to a local charitable partner upon rolling out a new “Frios Sweet Ride.” In addition to the company’s already established nationwide philanthropy partnerships, the Tiptons will carry the tradition to lead goodwill initiatives in the West Valley and Phoenix communities. “We want our customers to feel welcome no matter who they are, or where they are from, and strive to be inclusive. Through our mobile Frios Sweet Ride, we are able to spread happiness and give back to the people and communities that we serve. We plan on giving back through donations to local school districts and supporting nonprofits of all types.” Frios Gourmet Pops offers tasty frozen desserts of all types, including creamy and fruity flavors, and pops for those looking for low sugar and dairy-, wheat-, soy-, nut- and dye-free options. “We want to serve our community in a fun, innocent, safe and happy environment.

The magic of a Frios pop is that it can transport you back to a moment in time from your childhood or to a beautiful beach through a tropical-tasting pop,” Tipton said. The dessert on a stick harnesses the ability to spark an instance where individuals can stop and relish in their moment of joy, no matter the environment. Offered in a wide variety of flavors, Frios are made with quality ingredients and real fruit, empowering customers of all tastes to enjoy a Frios and reminisce in the carefree days of childhood. Some of Frios’ signature flavors include pineapple mango, fruit punch, blue raspberry, cotton candy, root beer float, blueberry cheesecake and key lime pie. The menu features seasonal pops as well, some of which include peaches ’n’ cream, Fruity Pebbles and chocolate strawberry. The mobile Frios van will make a stop in Goodyear and Buckeye sometime late July. For updates and exact dates, stay tuned to the Frios Instagram and Facebook page. Info: friospops.com
