The Popcorn Shoppe — Local services in Peoria

Absolutely amazing popcorn. BUT ask about pricing prior to purchase, packaging. It is very expensive and prices are not clearly posted unless the bag is already prepackaged. Might surprise ya, it def surprised me..... Thats the sole reason I won't be going back. But it IS delicious! Cheddy White is the way! A large bag of popcorn totaling 37$ is just way out of my price bracket.

Edit to respond - I'm just shocked at a 30$ price difference from the movie butter popcorn and the cheddy White. It seems really beyond a regular price difference for seasonings.... It is very good. But that's just an outrageous price for the same size bag. I called and was told the movie butter large bag was 6.99.. so I was just flabbergasted to see that vast difference. You would think pricing would be posted for all flavors and bag sizes. My package was already bagged and ready by the time it was ready to go, so I wasn't going to fuss. Id rather just mention it for other to be aware of so they don't make my...

Well worth the trip!

My wife and I drove 40 minutes to patronize this shop. Ever since COVID hit, we have been ignoring big box stores and traveling just to give back and do our part to help small businesses survive. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and the popcorn was AMAZING! I can’t remember exactly how many flavors we purchased, but I can assure you there are plenty others to keep us coming back for months. My favorite was the jalapeño and cheddar cheese. My wife’s favorite was the cherry cordial, (and believe me when I say she is a connoisseur of popcorn). The carmel with bacon was great as was the cheddar cheese. The owner gave us his history and testimonial on how he began his business and it was very interesting. Keep up your hard work- you are truly a craftsman! Like he told us, “I will see you again tomorrow.” Thank you for doing what you are doing. The little town of Lacon should feel honored to be fortunate enough to have a business of this quality.

Great service! Great popcorn! We're from Pekin and we were in the area for lunch and wanted some other reason to make the trek worth wild. Coming here was definitely worth it. Pretty much since we entered the door we were made to feel welcomed. There at a lot of flavors, many caught our eye.

One of the flavors we got was Cheesy Pizza, and it's probably the most pizza flavored snack I've tried. My wife said it reminded her of Pizza Combos, but I haven't had those. Either way, it was really good and has a nice hint of spice to round it out.

The movie butter popcorn is addicting. I find myself grabbing some whenever I walk by and smell it in the kitchen. Definitely should have gotten a bigger bag of it!

We'll definitely be coming back when in the area again to try new flavors and get some more movie...
