If you've driven by and caught a whiff of something buttery and sweet drifting through the air, you've probably found it. POP just opened up in Gulf Shores, and it's already turning into one o
f those spots you find yourself pulling into "just for a second," then leaving twenty minutes later with three bags you swore you didn't need.
This isn't your movie theater popcorn. POP makes everything by hand in small batches, fresh every single day, so what you're getting is the real deal, not something that's been sitting under a heat lamp since morning.

So Many Flavors, So Little Time
They've got the classics covered, but that's really just the beginning. Look for favorites like
Kettle Corn, the classic, done right
Hot Honey, sweet heat that keeps you reaching back in
Classic Cheddar, nostalgic and never disappointing
Dill Pickle, for the bold and the brave
Extra Butter, because sometimes simple wins
Salted Brown Butter Caramel, the one that might ruin regular caramel corn for you forever
If you're headed to the beach or hopping in the car for a longer drive, their grab n' go bags are worth grabbing off the shelf too. These lean more playful and colorful: Cotton Candy, Green Apple, Grape, Banana, Confetti, Cherry, Blueberry and Orange. Fun for the kids, but don't be surprised if the adults sneak a handful too.
Not sure what to get? Just ask for a sample. Nobody's going to judge you for trying four flavors before committing to a bag.
Build Your Own Popcorn Sundae
This is the part that had us hooked. Pick a popcorn flavor, add a drizzle, then pile on three toppings of your
choice. It's part snack, part dessert, and honestly a little dangerous once you realize how good the combinations get.
Thirsty? They've Got You

Popcorn's the headliner, but POP has fresh-squeezed lemonade in a handful of fun flavors and frozen
drinks for those brutal summer afternoons. Dirty sodas are on the way soon, so this is going to become an even easier place to just hang out for a bit.
