Become a Part of the Industry’s Continued Growth! Popcorn is a familiar gluten-free, non-GMO, whole grain food that is high in fiber and loved by millions every day. Popcorn’s popularity comes from the fact that it is one of the oldest and well-loved snacks consumed across the globe in a variety of settings from movie theatres, fairs, stadiums, corporate events, social gatherings, and at home! In fact, over 1 billion pounds of popcorn have been sold each year for the last 5 years and is expected to grow! The rise in consumption of ready-to-eat popcorn is the key factor that drives the market growth — and with our fresh, delicious, and convenient ready-to-serve flavors, we are positioned to join in the industry’s growth!
