About Us

Hey there, we are Andrew, Bryce and Willow. We run the Pop and Pop Shops curious… in Hermosa Beach, CA and formerly had the Kauai, HI location. (closed due to covid-19).

Bryce is a native of North Carolina where he started his career in the airline industry as a ramp rat. (You know those people who load and unload your luggage into your plane). He eventually ended up in Los Angeles, CA where he left the airline industry and opened up his first retail business in Hermosa Beach, CA.

Andrew started his journey in Colorado at a young age before moving to Nevada with family and then Southern Utah for a few years in his early 20’s. (That phrase makes it sound so exotic right, haha). He launched himself into the world of photography where he opened his own business and then relocated it to Southern California.

During the spring 2012 Bryce and Andrew met at curious… in Hermosa Beach where Bryce was sanding wood for a table he was building. We swear we are not making this up, there was real table wood sanding happening! Of course they started dating and soon Bryce convinced Andrew to help with the stationary buying for curious… Hermosa Beach. It was all over then. The November of 2015 Andrew and Bryce married as well as started the adoption process.

2017 June led to the opening of curious… Kauai. After a truck drove through the new location (yup it went right into it) after a month open we spent the next 4 months refocusing the vibe of the Kauai location and making sure we had better wall security. curious… Kauai reopened November 2017.

By May of 2018 we were flying to Missouri to adopt our daughter Willow.

During the early part of 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic swept the globe and altered life and business. The three of us managed to head back to Kauai for our spring season early March, but like everyone else in the U.S. were put under Stay at Home Orders. During those two months we launched our online store and came to the tough decision that we had to downsize from two brick and mortars to just one. We had no idea what the rest of the year would look like, and after much careful gut wrenching consideration we closed the Kauai, Hi location just shy of 3 years open. This meant also a move from our home on the island as well. We know we will return to the Island one day, but in the mean time we will carry on and enjoy life full time in Hermosa Beach, CA.

And here we are , Andrew, Bryce & Willow. Who knows what’s next.
