"2015 was a major growth year for Halfpops, and our year-to-date sales are up +86%. It's been a fun ride since launching in 2011; we've gone from being a regional brand in the Pacific Northwest with two items to becoming a national brand with seven flavors in 2016," said Mike Fitzgerald, Founder of Halfpops. "We spent the majority of last year listening to consumers, identifying what new flavors they wanted and understanding how they were enjoying the product; we think we came up with some great packaging upgrades and some new flavor winners - there is something for everyone now, whether you're looking for classic, sweet, savory, spicy or some combination of those."
