Guests build their own bags and mix and match flavors at a staffed popcorn bar. Or skip the bar and order personalized favor bags, or a big batch of our prepackaged popcorn delivered to the door. Same small-batch popcorn as the shop, made for a crowd.
Just want a bag or two? Our regular popcorn is still in the online store.
