About WOOPS!

WOOPS! was born in 2012 from a simple idea: Why not make money by opening a pop-up shop at the bustling Holiday Shops at Bryant Park in New York City - sharing delicious, specialty macarons with shoppers? The response let the founders know they were onto something, and they wasted no time in looking into how they could build a business on the idea that macarons make wonderful and special gifts as well as a day-brightening treat for oneself.
