Here's hoping everyone had a chance to see my initial blog yesterday! Can't be sure who is reading about POPtions, but if anyone is, please feel free to email me with your comments and suggestions.
One of the great things about POPtions is the breadth of flavors we offer; 20 flavors daily! As I mentioned yesterday, we feature Bissinger's gourmet chocolate and offer six chocolate topped flavors on a daily basis. Some may ask why use Bissinger's chocolate? Well, when I began formulating my business plan, it occurred to me that our local St. Louis clientele really appreciates premium products, and there is nothing more premium in St. Louis than Bissinger's chocolate. Frankly, the fact that we use Bissinger's chocolate help put us on the map and validated that we offer a true premium product. Needless to say, our chocolate topped flavors have turned out be our most popular.
I'll tell you further about our chocolate flavors, as well as our other sweet, savory, spicy and cheesy flavors in the near future.
As I am writing this at our store, a customer just came in, so got to go!

What is POPtions?
Welcome to the first posting for POPtions. We're coming up on our second anniversary, so I figured it was time start blogging.
You no doubt wonder what POPtions is. We're a gourmet popcorn store located in St. Louis, Missouri (actually, were in the burbs, Ladue). We opened at beginning of September, 2007.
I decided to start my own business, and had three key criteria that I wanted for my business; develop something that was unique and one of a kind in the St. Louis metro area, a business that had an e-commerce platform, and one that would that had multiple revenue channels.
So, after a lot or research, and recalling businesses that I'd seen in my travels, I decided to start a gourmet popcorn store.
Our brick and mortar location is located at 1580 S. Lindbergh Blvd. in St. Louis.
Our website is www.poptionspopcorn.com.
And we specialize in corporate gifting, offering personalized gift tins with corporate logos.
We offer 20 different flavors of popcorn daily; sweet, savory, spicy, cheesy, and Bissinger's chocolate topped popcorn. And we recently added Bissinger's Ice Cream-100% natural-really outstanding ice cream.
For those who are unfamiliar with Bissinger's, there a gourmet chocolatier, based her in St. Louis.
I'll give you more details about POPtions, the history of it's development, and other tidbits in the days and weeks to come.
That's all for now-and thanks for reading!
