Our story begins with family. Great American Popcorn Company began in 1994 when our parents, David & Catherine Lewis, made Galena, Illinois, their full-time home. They left behind corporate jobs in Chicago for a different way of life, one in which family and top-notch customer service would be at the forefront of their business model. Being raised in the store, we watched our folks treat every customer who walked in the door like family. With kids of our own running around now and a lifelong love for popcorn, we will always uphold the same level of customer service that our folks founded our family business on.

Our simply delicious popcorn is made with the highest quality ingredients and the best non-GMO popcorn sourced entirely from American family farms. All our gourmet popcorn is handcrafted in small batches, daily. Whether you walk into our storefront in beautiful Galena or shop online, know that all our popcorn is made with your satisfaction in mind, guaranteed. We know you’ll taste the difference.
