Bulk Wholesale Popcorn

With the advent of the modern movie theater, popcorn was sold from wagons parked outside of movie theaters. The owners of these wagons were private business owners not affiliated with the theater owners. Eventually theater owners realized they could be reaping these popcorn profits themselves.

Charles T. Manley, an inventor from Butte, Montana, gave theater operators the chance to do just that. In 1925, Manley perfected the first electric popcorn machine and began selling it to movie theater operators. The irresistible trapped smell of fresh made popcorn quickly made it the movie snack of choice and the perfect partnership between popcorn and movies was born!
