About Us

Growing up in the Chicago-land area where Cheese and Caramel popcorn was a popular snack, we never thought we would one day own the largest popcorn shop that anyone had ever seen.

When the idea of a “popcorn shop” popped into our heads we already knew that popcorn was a big commodity in our home town, however the shops only offered a small number of flavors such as butter, cheese and caramel.

Although we resided in different states (Georgia and Illinois) we did research for both and found that there were over 2000 popcorn shops in the Illinois area and zero in Calhoun Georgia and surrounding areas. With Deon residing in Calhoun for over five years already, we moved to put our plan in motion and introduce to Calhoun a popcorn experience they would not soon forget.
 

As we took ownership of our space and opened our first store, we humbled ourselves on being not just an ordinary popcorn shop, but a “gourmet popcorn shop” offering over 100 different flavors of popcorn.   We were welcomed with open arms by all the community, the chamber's of commerce, passer by's and visitors.  After you taste your first bite you’ll enjoy and appreciate the great taste of gourmet popcorn made with real ingredients.  For example, our Strawberry cheesecake popcorn is made with real graham craker crust.   

We learned that there is a lot to perfecting this trade through ideas shared by a popcorn expert whose been in the industry for over 25 years and through our own experience.  The process of making one tub of popcorn –cooking, cooling and coating – is quite labor intensive and takes from 50-90 minutes.

 We have both overcome some obstacles in our lives, but none that kept us down.  Once we learned that the world was our playground and that we were in control of our scrapes and bruises, we journeyed the pathway to success. Our business is a Christian-based company and not only do we credit our success to God, but we find our strength and encouragement in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Therefore we in turn encourage you as our customers to follow your dreams and not allow anyone to derail your plans for success.

Enjoy the great taste of our gourmet popcorn!

 Sincerely,


Deon & DeRon Ragland
