Before the Design Review Committee next week is the proposal to add signage and outdoor seating to the Candy Factory Lofts.

Looks like a Pops is going in the ground floor with outdoor seating to the east, between this building the Banjo Museum:

Foreshadowing from four years ago:

I love that little area between the buildings. I always walk that way if I'm going into Bricktown, as it's a little oasis. I think POPS will be a nice fit for Bricktown.

[Spartan]

WIN! This might actually help the Banjo Museum get by, and gives me another reason to be in Bricktown and not have to drive up to Edmond.

[Just the facts]

Yet another urban amentiy available to downtown residents that they can access on foot.

[Urbanized]

Great fit. Very exciting.

[Fantastic]

I think this is freaking amazing... they will no doubt have a better selection of soft drinks than the Bricktown Candy Company, but I don't think there will be that much competition between the two other than that... so, yeah...

Plus there's not many things more "Oklahoma" than Pops!!! Awsome addition to BT!

[Spartan]

So.......... Aubrey or no Aubrey? lol

You know, I really think if they could work on improving the food and making it worthy of the reputation, Pops could really be a fantastic brand. I see huge potential there.

[Cocaine]

I hope they serve alcohol at the Brick Town location.

[dankrutka]

Pops is a great concept, but the food is subpar.

[Larry OKC]

i disagree with the alcohol hope, there are plenty of places to get stronger stuff...Bricktown needs more truly family friendly (sans alcohol) in the supposedly family friendly area. IMO

[SOONER8693]

Agree 100%. If you've got to have alcohol, go somewhere other than Pops.

[Spartan]

Yeah, as someone who could always use a good watering hole to drink my OKC sorrows away, I think there's something sacred in the concept that Pops has perfected. A lot of people go there just because they have special pops you can't get anywhere else. Whenever I'm heading north out of town, I frequently hit them up to stock up on Leninade. International Pops has it but they're really hit and miss with their stock, and Pops is a much better experience.

[Pete]

$500,000 building permit today for the Pops space.

Will be taking 9,620 square feet. That's a large operation, not including the outside patio.

I agree, great brand, subpar food.

[SSEiYah]

Is Popz still coming to Bricktown? I have not seen anything since it was announced back in July.

[Pete]

I think Pops has completely stalled.

Probably due to the Chesapeake board's insistence that Aubrey stay focused on the oil & gas business.

[Steve]

Nope, not stalled. Just going on a schedule that is veeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyy slow.

[Anonymous.]

Wait, there are lofts in this building??? I have never seen a person going in/out of this building that looked as if they lived there. I thought it was office spaces.


I couldn't find a website for vacancy/rent information. Anyone know?

[Pete]

I believe the only thing in this building is office space for Advanced Academics.

[Lazio85]

The old Bunte Candy Factory building is now occupied by (pending) Pops (ground floor), POPS: Home; Johnson & Associates (two floors), Johnson and Associates; Advanced Academics (four floors), Online High School | Virtual Middle & High School | Advanced Academics | Advanced Academics.
