Local Lunch Features
In 2012 local business owner Connor Wray, a former
Eagan High School student, started JonnyPops with a
vision of making the world a better place, one pop at a
time. The pops are made with all natural products, nothing
artificial and the main ingredient used is real fruit.
JonnyPops are made in St. Louis Park, with wholesome
ingredients; real fruit, cream, cane sugar, purified water
and a pinch of salt. JonnyPops all-natural frozen fruit and
cream pops are like a smoothie-on-a-stick and comes in a
variety of flavors. School District 196 will be serving the
strawberry and banana variety on November 19.
JonnyPops can be found in your local grocery stores,
convenience stores, ice cream trucks and farmers markets.
Jonny Pops donates a portion of their proceeds and
products to the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Also, on
every JonnyPop stick you will find a good deed message
to pay forward. Every act of kindness ---no matter how
big or small- goes a long way.
