Okay Poppington's family, it's time to give a warm popping welcome to our three newest flavors! We are so excited to announce Poppington's now has Garlic Butter Scampi, Buffalo Wings and Blue Cheese!

Garlic Butter Scampi is just like taking a trip to Italy.  Bursting with garlic and buttery creaminess, you will not be able to put this popcorn down! You'll be coming back for more as soon as your finish your bag. This flavor was a HUGE hit at our flavor tasting last month, as well as in-store!

Do you love Buffalo Wings? And popcorn? Well now you're in luck because you can get them both in one bite! The savory and spicy mixture tricks your taste buds into thinking you're biting into a juicy, hot Buffalo wing! This one is sure to be a hit!

And last, but certainly not least, welcome Blue Cheese to the flavor family! This popcorn is a decadent mixture of rich and creamy flavor just bursting in your mouth!

Stop in today and grab a bag of one of the new flavors! Or, if you're feeling adventurous, buy all three!

At Poppington's we love to treat a select few customers to flavor tastings.  These customers get an exclusive first look at the new flavors we are whipping up and also have the opportunity to give us feedback! At the tastings, customers get to try the featured flavor and decide what they think would pair best with it when it goes on sale in-store.

On July 29, we are offering our first ever Mystery Flavor Tasting! Will it be cheesy? Savory? Hot? Sign up now and find out for yourself!

We receive great responses and note from the customers that take part in our tastings.  At the end of every tasting session, each customer is given a survey we can use as feedback for the new flavor.  Each survey is taken into consideration, and we make appropriate changes (if any) to better fit customers' needs.

At the end of the tasting, each customer is given a Poppington's goodie bag as our way of saying thank you for participating in our tasting.  Who doesn't love a free, exclusive first look at a new flavor AND a goodie bag to take home?!

We have tastings every month, and the spaces fill fast! Don't miss out on your opportunity to be an exclusive Poppington's Tasting guest! Be sure to check Facebook to keep up with the dates and flavors offered!

Everyone knows we love to mix flavors together and create new flavors, as do the customers! We all love to create our own special combinations. It doesn't matter what the flavors are, somehow we always find a way to make them work! That's what has allowed us to create so many of the wonderful mixes y'all know and love today!

With that being said, a BRAND NEW mix is being announced! Combining our new flavors Buffalo Wings and Blue Cheese, we now offer Blue Wings!  For real, your taste buds will believe you're at a wing bar!

Stop by the store today to pick up a bag of your own! Don't miss out on this delicious new flavor combination!

We are so excited to announce College Corn has started back up again for the upcoming school year! This program gives college students the change to have custom-ordered popcorn shipped to them automatically each month.  Revamped with all new flavor choices and the options of Traditional or Vegan, students are sure to enjoy! To include students with dietary restrictions, we will also offer Gluten Free and Vegan Choices.

College Corn offers students three different subscription lengths to order the popcorn: Fall, Spring and Year. Each semester subscription includes up to four months of popcorn. The Year subscription includes up to eight months of popcorn.

The Traditional option will give the student three selections of popcorn, including a custom container of decadent chocolate popcorn. The Vegan option will give the student two selections of popcorn. To compensate for the smaller selections, the Vegan option comes with a Party bag and a Family bag. Both options are $29.95.

Students are given the opportunity to choose the popcorn flavors that will be delivered and change their flavor

With the economic downturn of the past few years and a higher unemployment rate, it's been a tough time for business at the national and local level.

But the Greenville Chamber of Commerce is planning an event that it feels speaks to the challenges that businesses face...and the better days they feel are ahead.

On Tuesday, September 25th, the Greenville Business Expo, sponsored by the Greenville Chamber, will be held at the TD Convention Center from 8am to 7pm.

The Expo has been planned to be part trade show highlighting businesses and career opportunities...and part mentoring and networking through a series of events and workshops.

There are many people *in* business, but we believe the companies and business people that work to maximize their opportunities are the ones that will thrive in the future.

And that's what the Greenville Business Expo is all about.

It's not too late to become involved if you want to be a part of this big business event.

Businesses can still register to be a part of the day to share information with those who attend.

And you can still consider which of the professional workshops meet your needs.

You can get more information by going to *Greenville business expo - dot - com.

You'll see the schedule and everything you need to plan your day.

We believe if you're in business or want to get into business, there's something at the Greenville Business Expo for you.
