Powell's Sweet Shoppe to Merge with Lolli and Pops, Inc. San Francisco, CA, July 01, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Lolli and Pops and Powell's Sweet Shoppe today announced their plans for Powell's Sweet Shoppe to merge with Lolli and Pops. Lolli and Pops currently has 7 stores under its namesake brand, and 12 stores under the Candyopolis brand. This merger will bring an additional 16 locations under the Lolli and Pops umbrella.

This transaction creates one of the leading candy store chains in the US, differentiated by its ability to enter markets with a 3-tiered approach. With a combined 35 stores and more coming, Lolli and Pops is looking to grow its portfolio of brands.

"Powell's Sweet Shoppe has always been a great brand, but we've been missing structure and resources. The merger with Lolli and Pops gives us the much needed resources to grow as a brand," says CEO of Powell's Sweet Shoppe Bear Silber, who will remain with the company as President of Powell's Sweet Shoppe.

"Both companies share the same vision when it comes to service, selection, and experience. Once we recognized that, it was a natural decision to combine forces," states Sid Gupta, CEO of Lolli and Pops, "we're very excited about the Powell's brand and the team of extremely passionate franchisees."

Through this merger Lolli and Pops will be better suited to enter new markets by choosing a brand which is ideal for the community. Together their plan is to offer exceptional customer service, an award-winning confection selection, and an experience unlike any other.
