A small factory retail store recently opened at Jody’s Gourmet Popcorn’s Norfolk manufacturing facility – making in-person purchasing of the artisan popcorn again doable for Tidewater residents.
While it’s always possible to purchase the popcorn from the company’s website, Jody Wagner, president of Jody’s Popcorn, says, “We are excited to provide this outlet in Norfolk for customers. This location, along with Jody’s Popcorn’s participation at the Painted Tree in Virginia Beach, provides grab-and-go shopping, which was unavailable after Jody’s closed its Oceanfront store.”
At the new store, Wagner says, “We always have our famous Recipe 53 Caramel Corn, Double Cheddar, and Chocolate Drizzle Popcorn options available.” In addition to these regular popcorn items, customers will find exclusive deal opportunities,
she says, such as seasonal and limited-
edition flavors.
As a bonus to shopping at the factory outlet, Wagner adds, “If anyone plans to come to the store and wants a quick tour of our manufacturing operation, please let me know in advance so we can arrange it.”
Whether for a gift, to serve guests, or simply to enjoy as a snack, the kosher- certified popcorn is made with premium ingredients such as real butter and non-GMO kernels, is gluten and preservative free, and is always made in Norfolk. Jody’s Popcorn also offers the option to have bags custom labeled for use in connection with weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs.
Jody’s Popcorn is located at 2842 Cromwell Road in Norfolk. The store is open 8:30 am – 3:30 pm, Monday-Friday.
