Pop! Gourmet foods are passionate about quality and innovation

David Israel founded POP! Gourmet Popcorn in 2010. His original idea was to create a chain of retail stores that mixed popcorn with other sweet and savory flavors, but he quickly moved to a wholesale model. All along, Israel maintained his commitment to sourcing all-natural, gluten-free, high-quality ingredients for his products. “We go through so much pain to source the perfect ingredient,” said Sachin Ajith, vice president of project development. “That passion, that love, that magic is in our product.”

POP! Gourmet Foods are committed to being the best. The team source the HIGHEST quality, ultra-premium ingredients from around the world and carefully crafts each batch to perfection. Their innovative products have pioneered a new premium standard in the snack industry, decadently transforming some of the world’s favorite snacks.

The company’s growth has been as explosive as kernels in hot oil. Today, the company produces 30 flavors of popcorn at its plant in Kent, Washington. It outgrew two smaller plants in Renton, Wash., in a period of months. POP!’s success has been chronicled in mass media coverage. In the February 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Oprah Winfrey declared POP!’s White Truffle Bliss flavor one of her “favorite things.” Another flavor, Rogue Blue Cheese, recently won gold at a major snack food awards event.
