Popped!
About
Popped! is a gourmet popcorn and ice cream shop on the Salem waterfront, where visitors can watch popcorn being made in small batches. The shop offers more than 100 flavors drawn from hundreds of recipes, from sea salted caramel to loaded baked potato, along with candy, scooped ice cream and old-fashioned root beer floats. New holiday flavors are created for the season, and the shop pitches its popcorn for gifts, parties and stocking stuffers.
The business began in 2016, when two brothers already running a non-popcorn business at Pickering Wharf took over a vacant neighboring unit for storage and needed something to sell out front. Their popcorn idea drew a few laughs at first, but a decade later they are still popping in the same kitchen. Orders are made fresh, using kernels and ingredients sourced in the United States, and the shop has supplied caramel popcorn as wedding favors and bulk popcorn for party popcorn bars.
