Our Story

Popcorn for (and by) popcorn geeks

Some things are just better done the real way. Coffee brewed by hand. Music on vinyl. Pasta from scratch. Popcorn belongs on that list, and the real way only takes about five minutes.

Since 2014, Franklin's has brought together everything you need for stovetop popcorn done right. And the result is a warm buttery smell that fills the whole house and a taste experience that's better than any night at the movies you've ever had.

Respect the ritual

Great popcorn isn't complicated, but it isn't an accident either. It comes down to a few things done right: good corn, the right oil, enough seasoning, and a kettle that keeps everything moving. Everything we make is built to help you get that ritual right, every time.

How we do it

We start with the corn. Our popping corn is grown on family-owned farms in Iowa and Missouri and packaged in Wisconsin, so it goes from the field to your bowl fresh. Pick our Classic variety for that nostalgic movie theater taste, or our certified organic popping corn.

We chase the movie theater flavor. Butter flavored coconut oil and butter flavored salt are what make popcorn taste like the movies. We developed our own blends to get that flavor right at home.

We use tools built to last. Our stovetop popcorn maker is the original Whirley Pop, with all-metal gears and a stirring arm that keeps every kernel moving, so nothing burns and almost nothing is left unpopped.

We only sell what we love. Every product on this site gets tested in a real home kitchen. If we wouldn't serve it at our own movie night, we won't sell it to you.

Tiny but mighty (kinda like popcorn)

We're a small team that's a little obsessed with popcorn. Our most dedicated taste tester has four legs and has never turned down a plain kernel.

If you ever have a question about our products or a problem with your order, reach out and a real popcorn geek will take care of it right away.
