Our Story

​It all started in 2016 with two brothers, a handful of popcorn flavors, and an empty storefront at Pickering Wharf in Salem, Massachusetts.

We thought popcorn and ice cream by the water sounded like a pretty good idea.

And here's a fun fact: Before POPPED! moved in, our space was actually a radio station! The old recording room turned out to be the perfect spot for our popcorn kitchen, complete with a window where customers could watch the action.

We still wonder if they played POP music in there.

What started as a little popcorn shop has become something much bigger than we imagined.

When our chef Sarah joined us, she took our popcorn to a whole new level. We expanded our flavors, started finding new ways to package and began reaching customers well beyond Salem.

Our first website? We built it ourselves with absolutely no tech experience. Let's just say we've learned a few things along the way!

Today, we're proud to make popcorn that gets enjoyed in our store, shipped across the country, shared at parties, and used to support local fundraisers.

And we're still growing, one batch at a time.

We stand behind our popcorn!
