ABOUT US

We are a family-owned and operated business based in Jacksonville, Florida.

Our love for popcorn runs deep—I'm originally from Chicago, and my wife hails from Arkansas. The inspiration for our store's name came from our kids. After school, we'd always ask how their day went, and they’d reply, “It was ON & POPPIN’!” One day, my wife sketched a popcorn box on a notepad and said, “This would be a great name for a popcorn shop!” That note sat in a drawer for five years until I stumbled upon it.

Without telling my wife, I started making calls, bought equipment, and rented a small downtown space on Main Street. I built out the store, set everything up, and then took her on a drive. When we pulled up in front of the store, she was completely surprised. I handed her the keys and, with tears in her eyes, she stepped into her new adventure. "Congratulations," I said, "you’re in the popcorn business!"

Through challenges, triumphs, and by the grace of God, we’ve grown from one location to three at our peak, including spots in local malls. As time passed, we chose to focus all our love and energy on one location, allowing us to pour our hearts into serving our customers—who feel more like family.

Making popcorn is more than a business to us; it’s a way to bring smiles to people’s faces and hear them say, “That’s the best popcorn I’ve ever had!”

We hope you enjoyed our story. We warmly invite you, your family, and your friends to share in the joy and memories our popcorn creates. Thank you for being part of our journey!
