I started IzzyPop Popcorn back in 2011, when I was 8 years old. I came up with the idea of popping and selling popcorn as a fun summer project. Watching movies together and eating popcorn was a family favorite activity. Since popcorn was our favorite snack, I wanted to be able to share it with everyone! Popping popcorn in an old fashioned Popcorn Machine at home, was how it all began.

Everything from deciding on a name, picking out the colors, designing labels, and choosing the packaging tuned into a huge family project. I made bags of popcorn and sold them with my little brother at a family owned gourmet food store on 51st Street and Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. With my homemade signs and little stand, I would pass out samples to the customers in the store.  Before I knew it, I sold so many bags that summer, there was no keeping up with the demand. With a little coordination and a lot of effort, IzzyPop Popcorn expanded from a cute summer project, into an actual snack product, popped and packaged in a real factory! Olive Oil Sea Salt was the original flavor, but multiple flavors have been added to the line, and more ideas are in the works!

Thanks mom, dad, and Nicolas for all your help and support. I could not have done it without you!!

I hope you enjoy this special snack as much as I enjoy bringing it to you!
