THE POPTOWN STORY

Hello everyone. My name is Makenzi Hamby, and I am the new owner of Poptown Popsicles. In February of 2023, I bought this wonderful business from Amy and Derek Edmonson. This past year, I have been learning the ropes of how to perfect the perfect pop from Amy, as well as, experimenting and curating new flavors to try out and add to the menu to keep things fresh and fun throughout the year. This past year has been such a joy, and I am so excited to continue this journey and grow Poptown, so more people can taste this delicious product. We promise to continue to strive and create the most delicious pops that you all know and love. As always, thank you for the continued support of Poptown Popsicles. Reach out to us for any and all your party or event needs!

Let’s take a dive into my life. I have always enjoyed being in the kitchen cooking and baking. So when the opportunity came for me to buy Poptown, I could not pass it up! I graduated high school from University Heights Academy in 2016. This is where I met Amy. She was a fantastic teacher, and I had the privilege of having her for multiple classes. Since I have known Amy since I was in the first grade, I have been able to watch this excellent product and business flourish throughout the years, and I am honored to continue to grow this fantastic business for years to come. After high school, I went to college at Western Kentucky University, where I earned my Sport Management degree with a Business Administration minor. I am an avid sports fan. So in my free time, you can catch me at a Titans, Preds, or Nashville SC game. I have two of the most handsome dogs who are my whole world, Leo and Henry. Lastly, my family and friends are a huge part of who I am, and Poptown would not be what it is without the continued love and support that they give it.
