As legends claim, dating back to the early 1900s Woody's popcorn was known simply as a treat enjoyed by many local farmers. Each year Woody grew and popped the corn, mixed in his savory ingredients, and delivered the end result to nearby farmers for a sweet treat after the autumn harvest.
The family recipe has been passed through generations, and today Woody's Popcorn operates as a friend-owned business based in Sterling, IL. Acquired in October 2011 by Julie Scribner and Michelle Neubauer of Milledgeville, IL, Woody's Popcorn produces and distributes Caramel Corn, Cheddar Corn, and Caramel & Cheddar Mixed Corn products.
The business currently operates out of a facility located at 1741 Industrial Drive in Sterling, IL. Woody's Popcorn operates on a wholesale distribution business model, and does not currently have a retail storefront. By selling its wholesale products to local retailers, Woody's Popcorn encourages the growth of local business sales by providing businesses with quality products for their loyal customers. Woody's Popcorn sells directly to consumers through its online marketplace, found at www.woodyspopcorn.com. Products purchased online can be delivered directly to the consumer or marked for pick-up at the production facility.
In 2015, Woody's continued its growth and has seen greater distribution of its products in areas including the Chicagoland suburbs, Quad Cities, and Central & Southern Wisconsin. In the current fiscal year, as of September 30th, 2015, Woody's Popcorn has produced and distributed over 100,000 bags of popcorn.
As a part of its expansion in 2015, Woody's has adopted a new logo and updated packaging. The new logo features a facelift for Woody, giving him a fresh, modern-day look. The new packaging allows for the products to be heat-sealed, maintaining its fresh, delicious taste even longer. Not to worry though, Woody's Popcorn would never change the delicious recipe that keeps its consumers coming back.
Please be on the lookout for the Woody's Popcorn new packaging to be available for purchase soon at a store near you. You can also visit www.woodyspopcorn.com to place your order today.
