About
According to the company’s own account, “Kernels Gourmet Popcorn originated from the dream and determination of three sisters raised in Nashville, TN.” The site recounts that the sisters received a popcorn tin from their parents each Christmas, a tradition that continued until their local popcorn shop closed. After the sisters moved to different cities, one sister suggested over a Christmas break that the family open a popcorn shop in Nashville. The site states that in 2008, sister Amber moved back to Nashville, where sisters Jennifer and Erica and the rest of the family already lived, and started Kernels Gourmet Popcorn.
The business frames popcorn as a snack that “encourages sharing and can foster a sense of togetherness,” noting that “its snackable nature makes it easy to distribute among friends, family or coworkers, creating an opportunity for shared enjoyment.” It encourages customers to choose Kernels for corporate events, family gatherings, and special occasions, and describes popcorn as suitable for baby showers, weddings, movie nights, and game nights.
Catering is a featured offering. The site states: “Whatever your occasion, however big or small, we have the perfect options to choose from. Cater your birthday party, holiday party, corporate events, wedding festivities and more!” Catering packages are available for a range of event sizes.
