Lauri Bourgeois was inspired to launch her Pop This! popcorn business by her dad, Art Hixson (aka ‘The Popcorn Man’), who started his own popcorn business in the 1980s selling from wagons at Chicago art festivals, Navy Pier, Taste of Chicago and eventually at his own storefronts in Chicago and Denver. The Pop This! team will make their gourmet popcorn onsite at Chicago French Market. They will offer more than 17 flavored popcorn varieties, and specialize in personalized, custom popcorn creations.

Flavors range from more well known varieties - slip sliden' buttery, cheesy cheese, and melt in your mouth caramel to flavors for those who want to experience a different poppin sensation - decadent chocolate drizzled cherry, muddy rocks and after burner crushed red pepper! Decorated gift canisters are available and can be filled with a single flavor of choice or mixed to your specified delight. Pop This! also offers a corporate gift program and personalized packages for special events or occasions.
