What’s Inside This Episode:

• From Atlanta to NWA: Hear Lynn and Mike’s “superhero origin story,” from their beginnings in ice cream dreams and entrepreneur trials, to pedaling fruity, all-natural pops around the Bentonville square (on an actual tricycle!).

• Building a Community Hub: Learn how Pedal Park grew from a simple pop kitchen to a vibrant food truck park that now features four unique food trucks—think Asian fusion, authentic curry, taqueria treats, and spicy Cajun. Their secret sauce? Collaboration over competition and a love for supporting other small businesses.

• All-Natural Goodness: Discover what makes Pedal Pops special—dairy-free, low-sugar, no preservatives, and always real fruit. Their journey with Ozark Natural Foods helped them bring guilt-free desserts to the shelves for over a decade!

• Events & Gatherings: Pedal Park is more than great food; it’s fast becoming a gathering place for the community. From Bingo Wednesdays and Trivia Thursdays to pop-up yoga, live music, and special markets, there’s always something happening. They even host “Theology on Tap!” (Yes, that means craft beer or cider plus good conversation.)

• Local Love: The team shares how supporting local breweries and bakeries brings global flavor home to NWA—think boozy pops, kombucha pops, seasonal local fruits, and creative international treats.

Why You Should Listen: Whether you’ve lived here for years, just got to town, or are craving pops with a side of inspiration, you’ll love hearing how one small venture can bring a whole community together—one pop at a time.
