"Gourmet Popsicle shop coming to Wild and Woolly Video building
Steel City Pops sells gourmet Popsicles similar to Mexican paletas. | Facebook
The closure of Wild and Woolly Video in March was both sad because of its history in the neighborhood and expected given the increasing popularity of online video streaming websites such as Netflix and Hulu.
However, the departure of the longtime business from 1021 Bardstown Road has made room for another unique business to move into Louisville.
Alabama-based gourmet Popsicle company Steel City Pops plans to open its first Louisville location there — the start of a broader plan to expand into the state. Currently, Steel City Pops has six locations in Alabama and five in Texas.
A Steel City Pops store in Lexington is already in the works for Summit at Fritz Farm, a $156-million retail center at Man o’ War Boulevard and Nicholasville Road, according to the Lexington Herald-Leader.
Steel City Pops’ products are not like the traditional Popsicles one buys at the store. They are closer in relation to paletas, a Mexican frozen treat.
The Popsicles are made with all-natural organic ingredients and sweetened with raw cane sugar, according to Steel City Pops’ website. Flavors include Arnold Palmer, maple bacon with bourbon, butter pecan, pineapple jalapeño and plum with rosemary.
Steel City Pops also serves banana pudding and vanilla chocolate chip cookie pops.
Steel City Pops will lease the building from owner Todd Brashear, who also owned Wild and Woolly Video."
