"Well, here's a fun fact about Indiana - did you know that the Hoosier state is home to the largest gourmet popcorn store in the world?" the My2053wilt.com says.

"Way up north in Gary, Indiana, the folks at POPCORN WORLD are busy every day, working hard to prepare over 250 flavors. You'll find a wide variety of caramel, kettle, butter, cheese, candied, and gourmet choices. A few that stand out to me include crab legs, steak, and hot wings with blue cheese.

"The popcorn shop began back in 2008 by a couple of guys from Northern Indiana and was originally known as Popcorn Haven. A few years later, LeBarron Burton joined the team and convinced the owners to change the name to Popcorn World. Fast forward a few more years, to 2019, and LeBarron and his wife Nina have taken over ownership and opened their flagship location in Gary, IN. Thanks to some positive reviews from popular social media influencers, Popcorn World went viral and blew up almost overnight. Popcorn World went on to sell over 95,000 bags of popcorn in its first year of business."

"Owner and operator of Popcorn World, LeBarron Burton, is not shy about using his diverse palate to come up with more than 250+ unique (and wild) flavors of gourmet popcorn. You already know caramel and cheese popcorn, but what about crab flavored popcorn? Or pizza and steak flavored?, the ABC7 reports.

"Being unofficially dubbed "The Disney World of Popcorn," Popcorn World and its crazy popcorn flavors caught the attention of multiple online celebrities, including Casey Neistat, All Def Digital and more. LeBarron even says after being featured by All Def Digital, they did more than $60,000 in sales in one day!

"Some of Popcorn World's flavors include classics like caramel, cheese and cheese coated caramel. Then they have sweet concoctions such as key lime pie, Oreo cheesecake, banana pudding, Twix, Butterfinger, and Lucky Charms. And then, you get the savory flavors like crab, steak, loaded baked potato, pizza and one LeBarron is working on now, collard greens."

"We are these worlds largest popcorn store where we make over 250 flavors of gourmet popcorn," the official website says..

"Our flavors range from our savory flavors such as Crab Legs, Hot Wings, Dill Pickle to our gourmet flavors such as Strawberry Cheesecake, Key Lime Pie, Snickers, Oreo Cheesecake, and Caramel Sea-Salt.

"From our gourmet chocolates and our tantalizing candies to our mouthwatering savory cheese popcorn we have flavors that will delight anyone’s taste buds. Come select the flavor that delights you and protect it in our zip-fresh sealed bags."

"The Burtons are not new to the popcorn industry; they have stores already in operation in Oak Lawn, Illinois, and Michigan City, Indiana," the Lansing Journal says.

“We were determined to open a popcorn store in our hometown,” said Nina Burton. “The support has been amazing, and we are proud to be a part of the rejuvenation of Gary’s small business landscape.”

"The couple’s children also work at all of the store locations, so it is indeed a family business. In between filling hundreds of online orders and servicing walk-in customers, the Burtons are now recruiting for more employees. The sudden influx of business has also escalated the timeline for the opening of their next store on the south side of Chicago."
