Popbelly’s Popcorn is celebrating 10 years of selling gourmet popcorn in New Braunfels.
The business, located at 2327 Gruene Lake Dr., Ste. B, was founded in December 2016 by Kristi and Mike Vinzant.
About the owners
In 2016, Kristi Vinzant was in an accident that injured her spinal cord and limited her mobility, Mike Vinzant told Community Impact. After the accident, she was no longer able to stay at her job as a registered nurse, so they took a chance, sold everything they had and opened Popbelly’s.
“I knew I had to find something we could do to make a living, and gourmet popcorn entered my head again,” Mike Vinzant said. “Thinking this would be a lot easier on her, we made a big life decision to take the chance and open our own popcorn shop.”
Some of the flavors in the categories are dill pickle, Gruene pop (sea salt caramel and extra butter), strawberry and birthday cake.
Customers can purchase the popcorn in sizes that range from mini (three cups) to party size (275 cups).
Customers can choose from a variety of sweet and savory flavors of gourmet popcorn.Emily Harter/Community Impact
