In the central part of Columbus, I found this shop on the northwest corner of 25th and Home Ave…read more Tasty varieties of coated popcorn can be purchased in several sizes of sealed bags as well as a few of the more popular types which can be bagged from the counter. I recommend entering the parking area on the back of the building off Home Ave for convenience. I missed it and had to use the neighboring businesses lot along 25th to do a quick run in. Inside, there are several display racks, each featuring three types of popcorn in the various sizes. I also noticed that they do party arrangements. I was greeted and the employee shared some information about their ingredients origination (all central Indiana) and about their programs. I picked up three kinds and they were delicious. I liked that there was room to move around the shop without feeling crowded. However, I didn't see as many flavor options as some of the other popcorn shops in central Indiana, particularly their closest competitor in Edinburgh's "Not Just Popcorn" (located in downtown Edinburgh, not the outlet mall.) Still, the items I purchased were good and if you are in the area, they have a nice selection of many popular varieties. Review #3536

Yes you can order online and yes you can pay shipping!! But Columbus is a nice neat town to take a day trip from Cincinnati. Prices are OUTSTANDING!! Very low for what you get. I would suggest to go online and order ahead them pick it up and immediately start eating it!! Really if you order online you can get anything you want. You yes can go and just pick up but since this is such a popular place many ore sold out. So yes go and or order online. You will enyoy.

Hoosier Popcorn has capitalized on the kernel hysteria with their simple yet oh so addictive popcorn. I met the gents at Yelp's Slumber Party at Prairie Guest House, where they made it fresh on the stovetop - my first time eating non-microwaved popcorn. It was so good I ate two servings. Not ashamed. The difference was the sunflower oil topped with sea salt. That's it. No weird flavors, no butter, nothing. You can easily recreate this at home with their ultimate stovetop kit, which includes kernels, oil, and sea salt. Fun fact: sunflower oil is what's used in Skinny Pop, the #1 selling popcorn on the market. Hoosier Popcorn is rather new to the scene, but you can find them at Indy Eleven games and all around the state, from Terre Haute to Lafayette to Richmond and, of course, Indy (Pogue's Run, Goose the Market, Wildwood).

I was writing about the company for a WTHR blog post and couldn't help but buy a ton of popcorn flavors. For research, right?! I ordered the dairy free cheddar, simply salted, white cheddar, Buffalo cheddar, and buttermilk ranch popcorn for delivery. I LOVE that they offer "snack size" bags of popcorn for only $3.50. Because I was new to the popcorn, I was able to order a ton of the flavors to find my favorites. I also thought it'd be a super fun Christmas or NYE activity to do popcorn taste testing or a popcorn/beer pairing at home. They also offer large, party time (1 gallon), and 4 gallon bags for those who are ready to commit a few flavors. Besides the flavors mentioned, there are sweet and seasonal flavors as well. Enjoy!

Located on the north end of town, it has a small street presence and seems even smaller inside. When you do step in, they have bags of flavored popcorn (double dipped) and popcorn puffs (no hard kernels or husks) coated with caramel. I didn't ask if they have any samples to try, but simply decided to go with the Caramel Delites. Unlike some caramel treats, these have caramel flavor but not the sticky texture. The puffs are larger than most popcorn too. Note that the popcorn is also popped and coated in the small area behind the counter. (Talk about efficient!) They may not have as many flavors as some of the other popcorn places I've been to, but they do have a menu of other items you can get including beverages and hot dogs. Review #1629

The flavors they have are butter (which they said they use real butter) cheddar (again they said real cheese) Oreo (real pieces of Oreo) caramel and cheddar mix, birthday cake, caramel apple, ghost pepper and also kettle corn.

They were also very mindful of what had any type of allergens versus what did not. Everything I tasted it was delicious and I was surprised because I am a picky eater. I absolutely loved this place and will be back.

One inside the shop, you will see a photo backdrop a small freezer and some large containers filled with various flavors of popcorn. There were so many flavors including weeding cake, banana pudding, Dorititos, hot cheddar, pineapple, white cheddar, jerk, pizza, watermelon, cap n crunch, and Butterfinger. They remove 90% of the husk from the popcorn that they use. Husk is the part of the popcorn that gets stuck all up in your gums. With so many flavors to choose from, the decision of what to get can be very hard. To assist with the tough decision, visitors are able to sample the flavors. I tried almost all of them. Even though there are over a hundred flavors to choose from, there is usually about to 70 or that are ready and available. You can get your popcorn in four bag sizes: small (3 cups), medium (7 cups), large (14 cups) and XL (26 cups). You can also get it in 1, 2 and 3 gallons. The man that was working the shop during my visit, just happened to also be the owner, Pete Lee. Pete was amazing. He was very welcoming, friendly, energetic, and helpful. Pete let me in on a little secret that he was planning on opening popcorn vending machines that would be going in schools and other spots. The shop already offers fundraising opportunities, and does catering and special events. You may have seen them at the State Fair. If you cannot make it to the shop, don't worry. You can purchase the popcorn online. After filling up on samples, I got a bag of green apple, a bag of cookies and cream, a bag of dirty pickle, and a bag of lemonade watermelon. They were well packaged and delicious. I wish I could give this place a sixth star and I highly recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be back soon.

Prices are decent too-- my favorite thing to do is pick up a small bag from here and take it with me to the theater; better taste, price and all around customer service. Each package also notes that the product is 'Indiana Grown'. It's nice to know that our hard working farmers' yield goes so far around the state :)
