Many people associate popcorn with movie theaters. But, who says you have to be in a movie theater to enjoy the delicious salty, sometimes sweet, always delicious snack? If these Metro Detroit popcorn shops have anything to say about it, popcorn should be enjoyed by everyone, whenever they like, regardless of venue.

Sold at retail locations across the lower and upper peninsulas, The Popped Kernel carries an eclectic variety of traditional popcorn favorites, like “Classic Caramel” and “Classic Cheddar.” More interestingly, they also offer some “unique” flavors, like the “Ann Arbor Mix” (lemon and blueberry popcorn), beer-flavored popcorn and grape-flavored popcorn. This St. Clair Shores store offers all kinds of sweet treats, but we’re here for the delicious popcorn. Try “Caramel Churro,” peach-flavored or sriracha-flavored popcorn here. Bouncing back from a sickness taking its toll on the owner of Pop’s, the store will remain open into next year and beyond! “Sweet as a Peach” popcorn from Pop’s in St. Clair Shores.

Some of those flavors include “Birthday Cake,” “Cherry Soda,” “Salt & Vinegar,” “Spicy Hot Barbecue” and “Cookies & Cream.” You can order the popcorn in a variety of portion sizes and there is a 16-flavor sample pack…you know, just in case you can’t decide. While established as and still named Kettle Corn of Michigan, it’s name is a little misleading. This shop switched from producing kettle corn in a variety of flavors to using European sweet corn instead. The taste of the two popcorn varieties is similar, but the latter is a lot lighter. You still get the sweet taste of kettle corn and they still make it in a variety of flavors, like maple caramel, double cheese & garlic, jalapeno & cheese and more.
