History
WOOPS! was founded in 2012 by a group of four friends who saw an opportunity to share their love for French macarons in a fun, accessible way. What began as a humble pop-up shop at New York's Bryant Park Holiday Shops quickly captured the attention of customers, leading to the sale of over 100,000 macarons in just nine weeks. This unexpected success sparked the realization that macarons were not only a delicious treat but also a perfect gift for any occasion.
Since its inception, WOOPS! has expanded from that single location to multiple franchises across the U.S. Our growth has been fueled by the demand for high-quality macarons, the popularity of experiential gifting, and a proven business model. Today, WOOPS! offers a variety of franchise opportunities, including vibrant kiosks and standalone shops, with a special focus on the $242 billion corporate gifting market. With a strong brand, loyal customer base, and simple operations, WOOPS! is poised for continued success as we expand further and offer more entrepreneurs the chance to be part of our sweet journey.
