In May of 2012, Steel City Pops founder Jim Watkins opened our first Pop Shop in Homewood, Alabama; from there, things unfolded rather quickly, growing to 23 locations across the Southeast. From the very first moment until now, Jim's desire has been to fill every day with a passion for his product and a desire to keep customers first. If Steel City Pops is not in your neighborhood yet, Jim hopes it will be soon - via our signature pop shops, catering for private parties and corporate events, and via several specialty grocers across the country.
