Poppy Handcrafted Popcorn is a small-batch, all-natural gourmet popcorn brand launched in 2014 and based in Asheville, North Carolina. The company uses simple, natural ingredients (including non‑GMO corn) and sells through retailers across North America and its online store. Co-CEOs Susan Aplin and founder Ginger Frank lead the business. Poppy reports roughly 150% year-over-year demand growth each year since 2018. The company plans to use new capital to more than double its manufacturing space and invest over $2 million in equipment and technology to increase production capacity at least sixfold. Management says the expansion will add new jobs in the Western North Carolina economy.
