## Story

Crank up the excitement, Mississippi Gulf Coast! Frios Gourmet Pops, the modern day ice cream truck offering gourmet ice pops, is bringing its frozen delights to the coast this summer in an extraordinary fashion! Military veteran Jarred Cook and entrepreneur Amanda Cook, a power-couple with a track record for success, are taking the helm of this exciting journey.

After their first taste of Frios' nostalgia inducing pops at a local event years ago, Jarred and Amanda never imagined they'd one day own a franchise. The irresistible combination of a straightforward business model, a stellar product, and the flexibility to cultivate the venture part-time led them to join the Frios family.

The Cooks are enthusiastic about the potential that their territory holds.

"What excites us is that we know we have an opportunity along the Mississippi Gulf Coast area to build a presence, an amazing business, and a great reputation. It doesn't hurt that we are right next to the Mobile franchise which already has such a great presence and reputation!" Amanda Cook shared.

As they fire up their operations, Jarred and Amanda are eager to serve their community and add to the great reputation of Frios Gourmet Pops. Residents along the coast, prepare for a flavor-packed adventure as Frios Gourmet Pops brings its unique spin on frozen treats to your hometown!
