Sweet Venture Group introduces a bold new candy experience delivering a popping, chewy texture and layered flavor in every bite

PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Sweet Venture Group is shaking up the candy aisle with the launch of Gummi Popz™, a new gummy candy brand that is a full-sensory flavor bomb. Delivering layered textures, bold flavor combinations, and playful twists, Gummi Popz gives you a candy experience that hits in explosive waves.

Built for teens and tweens who crave more than just sweetness; think experience-driven treats over traditional one-dimensional sweets. It has a burst of flavor and texture in every piece, with room to personalize, experiment and share with others.

"Today's teens want candy that goes beyond taste - they want texture, movement, and something they can make their own," said Todd Elliott, Founder & Chief Candy Inventor of Sweet Venture Group. "Gummi Popz™ was built specifically for this generation. It delivers layered sensory impact, invites customization, and stands apart from the predictable options filling the aisle. Each bite is a mini "OMG" moment you must talk about. We're not chasing what's popular, we're creating what's next."

Built for the Next Era of Candy Chaos

Gummi Popz™ brings multi-textured gummies with layered flavors that reveal something new with every bite (pop). Each pack is made for mixing, sharing, and discovering new favorites. With endless flavor combinations, the experience is never the same twice. Bold, playful, and made to be enjoyed your way.

The brand will 'POP' both in-store and online, leaning into visually rich, experience-driven products that resonate with modern, trend-savvy consumers.

Pricing and Availability
Gummi Popz™ will be available in the U.S. starting mid-March 2026, at a suggested retail price starting at $2.49 USD.

The product will be available online via Amazon and in-store at select U.S. retailers, including Walmart, Albertsons/Safeway, Circle K, H-E-B, OXXO, and many more as the brand rolls out nationally.

Launching worldwide, starting in Canada this summer and Europe, the UK, Australia, and more, rolling out in time for Back to School.
