Popculture Gourmet Popcorn provides a one-of-a-kind experience to the Kansas City market and ships nationwide! With 50 "Popping Awesome" flavors available every day, there is always something for everyone! From old school Caramel or Cheese to our favorite, Extra Buttery Caramel, and fun flavors like Loaded Potato or seasonal specials--there is a large variety to choose from! Handcrafted at the production facility in Riverside, Missouri, we also have vegan, gluten-free, and dye-free options. Currently, there are two public storefronts in the KC metro that feature a popcorn sample wall experience and a premium line of hard scoop ice cream. You can also find us at multiple small business wholesale partners locally and across the country.
Popculture originated in Parkville, Missouri, in 2017 as a combined retail and production location. Melody and Justin Woo saw the potential impact that gourmet popcorn could have in the KC market and acquired Popculture in November, 2019. Listening to community demand, and with the worst timing of all time, they quickly expanded in early 2020 with a second location in downtown Overland Park, Kansas, followed by a production facility expansion in 2021. Weathering a pandemic as new business owners proved to be a masterclass in resilience and they found ways to create success.
Melody, a Licensed Dietitian, and Justin, an Executive Chef, apply a dynamic culinary background to the gourmet popcorn industry. They are proud to lead the Popculture team into the future with an emphasis on serving fun!
Don't just take our word for it--our favorite google review says it all: "A cool local shop that is worth the hype."
And to make us blush with pride, here is an excerpt from a holiday card included in a corporate order to their employees: "The popcorn in this tin is from a KC company that has wonderful products and does a great job of keeping things fresh, new and innovative and I thought it was a fitting example of our 2023 and an inspiration for 2024."

Melody and Justin Woo, not looking nearly as exhausted as they probably were (LOL), July 2021.
