The POPularity story

Soda. Popcorn. Culture.

We're a POP & POP shop. POPularity! was created by Dave and Mike Gardingham, a Buffalo couple with a shared love of great snacks and pop culture. It started with Dave's years managing a movie theater in college, where he discovered something almost magical about the concession stand — the smell of fresh popcorn, the excitement of movie night, and the way a simple snack becomes part of a lasting memory.
