Brand Story
Popping fresh. Serving flavor. Building a snack brand with big goals.
Jeremy started Perry Popcorn in Summer 2024 through YEI’s MBSYEP Smart Hustle entrepreneurship program. What began with his love for popcorn and curiosity about trying different flavors has grown into a youth-owned gourmet snack business.
Perry Popcorn specializes in flavorful gourmet popcorn made with premium ingredients and crafted to satisfy every craving. From classic buttery popcorn to creative flavors like kettle, DC Mumbo, cinnamon crunch, piña colada, caramel, and other specialty options, Jeremy is building a brand with something for everyone.
Since launching, Jeremy has vended at several pop-ups, pitched at KidBizCON 2025, and continued growing as a returning entrepreneur. He is now preparing for 10th grade and working on expanding his product line to include drinks.
