Growth & Expansion
The current owners are moving into semi-retirement and have intentionally run the business on a limited schedule with just two full-time staff and no part-time labor — meaning it is currently operating well below its real capacity. A new owner with more time and energy to invest could realistically: -Expand the wholesale route beyond its current days-per-month cadence -Add new event and festival bookings, building on an already-exclusive vendor status at many locations -Launch online and e-commerce sales for the gourmet popcorn line. Current website included in the sale. -Grow retail partnerships beyond the current wholesale account base -None of this requires reinventing the business — it’s the same proven model, simply run at greater scale.
Support & Training
