She said she has been in business doing events, fundraisers, etc. for 5 years now and never imagined she would have her own store. After sampling many of her flavors, I can tell you she deserves it! The popcorn is delicious. I'm a Garrett's fanatic and I have to say, her "216 mix" that is mirrored after the Chicago mix (her's has cheddar, white cheddar, and caramel), is absolutely delicious.
The caramel corn literally MELTS in your mouth. After one taste from people at work, I started getting requests for me to walk over and buy them a bag or two since her store is so convenient for me. I love the jalapeno cheddar, too - so flavorful!! I actually like mixing that one with the caramel- YUM! I also love the white cheddar and gingerbread caramel. The gingerbread caramel is very potent, but still great!!
At 3-5 dollars for a small bag, I think the price is very reasonable for being gourmet popcorn! You can buy tins too - her prices range anywhere from 7-45+ dollars depending on the size of the tin. I'm sure these would have made great holiday gifts, but I didn't realize they had already opened until after the holidays!
Chrissie, the owner, is so nice! She's the only staff member I have met so far, but I'm sure the rest are just the same!
I love small shops and I'm glad this one is so close to my apartment. I hope this winter still gives her enough business to thrive in that location. I know I'll definitely be visiting it a lot!
