Pop This NY – It’s Started with One Celebration…

It all started with a family member’s 50^th birthday party. Pop This NY co-founders Andrea Macaluso and Diane Conway offered to do all the planning, decorating and desserts. They decided to create a popcorn bar with their own homemade popcorn featuring three flavors: Movie Theatre, Kettle Korn and Chocolate Drizzle. Their popcorn was such a huge hit that guests starting asking them to create popcorn for their events. They created popcorn for other family members’ special occasions, and for a party of seniors. They offered it as an in-kind donation for a local fundraiser to help a woman with ovarian cancer. Soon after, a guest at one of the parties – a professional party planner – asked if they would work to create popcorn bars for her events. And so, the popcorn seed was planted and Pop This NY was born.

Today, Pop This NY Popcorn is available for a wide range of events/applications:

All for the Love of Popcorn

For Andrea, an emergency service dispatcher for a major utility company, cooking was something she always loved. In her words, “My mother was an incredible cook and my passion for cooking came from her.”

Baking a cake from scratch for a friend’s birthday party in 2011, which “turned out amazing,” started her love of baking. About popcorn, she said, “My love of popcorn started at a very young age. Popcorn has always been a staple snack for me. At a young age, my mom would make it for us in a pot on the stove.”

Diane has always been involved in the food industry. Her father owned a deli and she spent time working there in the family business. She’s also been a waitress for over 26 years and Andrea’s friend since grade school. Even before their popcorn business starting taking off, Diane and Andrea were busy planning and creating fabulous parties for their friends and family. It was a natural for them to join together in a food business that makes all kinds of life celebrations extra special.

Now, Diane says their mission is simple, “To make great popcorn that everyone will really enjoy!” To assure the highest quality of all Pop This NY popcorn, all flavors undergo the nine-day quality taste test for flavor and freshness.
