Pittsburgh Popcorn Company

The Pittsburgh Popcorn Company started its journey in 2008 in Pittsburgh, PA, with a simple mission: to offer popcorn that tastes how it should—crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying. Over the years, the business has grown from a home-based operation into a thriving company with more than seven locations. Franchise opportunities are now available for individuals interested in joining the snack food industry. Although often referred to as “gourmet popcorn,” the founders prefer to highlight the authenticity and simplicity of their product, ensuring it remains approachable for all popcorn lovers. Recognizing the growing demand for their popcorn, the founders relocated from their home to a storefront in Pittsburgh’s iconic Strip District. Known for its rich culinary culture and bustling atmosphere, this location provided the perfect platform to introduce the brand to a broader audience. The move proved pivotal in the company’s growth, positioning it as a staple in the local snack scene.
