Dale And Thomas Popcorn
A tree may have grown in Brooklyn, but Manhattan
sprouted two cornfields...
It also launched the world's most innovative and exciting retail popcorn
stores: Popcorn, Indiana. Since 2002, Manhattan's Popcorn, Indiana stores
have delighted people everywhere.
And now, Popcorn, Indiana stores have a new name: Dale & Thomas Popcorn TM.
Why the name change? Who are Dale & Thomas? What's the story?
We're glad you asked...
The Popcorn, Indiana chain was founded by entrepreneur Warren Struhl, along
with his business partner Richard Demb. Every since his childhood in the
Bronx, Warren loved popcorn. If fact, the only thing Warren liked better
than eating popcorn was starting successful companies, which he did several
times in several industries.
Warren's dream was to eventually create the company that would revolutionize
popcorn retailing, as Starbucks had done for coffee, Cinnabon had done for
cinnamon rolls and Auntie Anne's had done for soft pretzels.
It was only after coming up with the name Popcorn, Indiana that Warren and
Richard learned there really was a town named Popcorn, Indiana.
