(NNPA)—Popcorn has become one of America’s favorite snack foods.
And with a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work, one local businesswoman said she’s finally “popping her way to success.”
“We moved 756 units which equates to 2,500 bags of air-popped popcorn in a four-day period while participating in the Costco Roadshow in Maryland last week and naturally we’re pleased with the public’s response to our product,” said Dr. Renette Dallas, a practicing, traditional naturopath who founded Life by Dallas Popcorn in November 1999 and lives in Hyattsville, Maryland.
“The Roadshow provides businesses with an opportunity to showcase their products through customer demonstrations. Costco can’t buy our entire line so they let customers’ sales help them decide which two they will stock on their shelves. We exceeded their goal; our item sold a whopping five times the desired amount. It’s been a bit exhausting but I’m very happy,” said Dallas, a native Washingtonian whose popcorn has already become a favorite item for shoppers at Whole Foods Market in Silver Spring, as well as other nearby locations.
The Costco Roadshow, held Thursday, Dec. 11 through Sunday, Dec. 14, took place at the Woodmoore Shopping Center in Lanham, Maryland. Shoppers in the District will have a chance to sample Dallas’s popcorn when it’s featured at the Costco Roadshow in D.C. from Thursday, Jan. 8 through Sunday, Jan. 11.
