Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
We opened our doors on May 18, 2000.
What is your primary product or service?
We are known for our delicious gourmet popcorn, as well as our frosted almonds and pecans.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We had been to a number of popcorn stores, and fell in love with one of the flavors we tried (Vanilla Butternut), and thought Port Clinton was the perfect spot to open a store.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
What we do that most other candy/confectionary stores don't do is emphasizing sampling of our products to the customers. That is why we installed a long sampling counter for them to try our many flavors. Another major difference is that we pop and coat our popcorn directly in front of the customers.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are only at one location, and that is in downtown Port Clinton, Ohio. We also own an adjacent restaurant called Kokomo Bay with a Caribbean flair, but also have good old American burgers, pulled pork, and homemade soups.
