Starting out with just a single popcorn machine, CEO of Poppy Hand-Crafted Popcorn Ginger Frank has transformed the brand into a successful startup, with exciting plans for growth in its future. Butter yet, the brand has just announced a new accomplishment — the gourmet popcorn is now available in Ingles stores.

The stores’ local makers section will have four flavors available: Salted Caramel, Pimento Cheese, Parmesan & Black Pepper, and Poppy Mix. Plus, select stores will feature dedicated displays.

“As Poppy continues to grow in the premium grocery category, launching in Ingles Markets was an important step for us, aligned with our commitment to the local community,” Frank shared in a press release.

Poppy Popcorn is currently available in several Ingles locations and will soon be sold in 90 stores. All that to say, your next grocery run just got a lot more exciting.
