Lolly's Frozen Grapes® were started in Lolly Parker’s kitchen on a hot summer's day when she was trying to find a yummy tasting dessert for her kids. She was tired of what was available on the market like popsicles (a commitment), ice cream (hard to share) or some strange concoction that was trying to be healthy and delicious but tasted weird because of the added "buzz word" of the week. Her kids could detect it and wouldn’t eat it.
Someone suggested she freeze grapes. Sounded simple enough- until she did it. Wash, dry, pack, freeze. Hours later she had frozen grapes. Her kids loved them so she started dipping them in chocolate and they loved them even more. Then she sprinkled some toppings and before she knew it, had 3 flavors.
But the process was time-consuming and they were begging her for more. So she said to herself, “I wish I could buy these at the store”. I guess you can say that was her "lightbulb moment". She sold them at their little league games and people were buying.
So she grabbed her friend Sumi and together started the company, immediately got into stores around Los Angeles and the product took off. They then scaled the business and are onboarded with 3 distributors, including one international and are ready for orders!
