At PopStroke, every team member has limitless potential to become who they want to be. We encourage bold ideas, celebrate growth, and believe that when you're supported, challenged, and trusted, you rise.

We solve problems together, jump in, and move the needle every day because we care. We lead with ownership, back each other up, and never lose sight of the fun along the way.

This mindset; the drive, the heart, the teamwork is what we call The PopStroke Way.

Our Core Values

Make It Fun

If it's not fun, rethink how we're doing it. We bring creativity, positivity, and joy into everything we do, from guest interactions, doing hard things, and how we support one another.

Bring the Energy

Your vibe sets the tone. Every leader and team member influences the experience. Show up with enthusiasm, optimism, and presence.

Roll Up Your Sleeves

See it. Fix it. Jump in.

We are hands-on, problem solvers that jump in and become part of the solution. We leave things better than we found them.

Own It

Live your role with an owner's mindset. We take pride in our work, hold ourselves accountable, and treat the business like it's our own.

Get Off the Hamster Wheel

Don't repeat yesterday — rethink, improve, grow. We challenge "the way it's always been done" and are always looking for better ways to serve our guests and each other.
