I had their popcorn several times. But a few weeks ago I went in and bougt some on my own. The lady who helped me was so kind. Nothing is better than a business with nice and friendly staff. Amazing popcorn! Go check them out!

My boss got us all a snack ton from here and I loved the Green Apple so much, I had to find this place. So happy I did! I've only been here twice, but I'll continue to come back because the ladies I've met here are so cool and happy! They let you try every sample you want and help you come up with cool combinations. I have never loved popcorn, but if you do, this is the place to go! I've taken my best friend, mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, and they can't get enough!

The popcorn here is really yummy with a lot of flavors to choose from. Get the Maple (fall/winter flavor) if you can--it is delicious!! It's pricy for popcorn, but you can get a good deal by buying one of their tins that you can then refill with 11 cups for only 5-7 dollars. My only wish is that they made Poppycock-like mixes with dried fruit and nuts. However, their status as a nut-free facility must be great for folks with kids with a nut allergy.

I am IN LOVE. I have been looking for some good caramel popcorn and I found it here! They have so many flavors and are so kind I'm definitely going to be making regular trips.

Prepare to have your taste buds delighted with all the different selections offered for your popcorn snacking experience. Yes experience. So hard to choose a favorite flavor. But if you must choose, The Mad Popper is a good choice. Also love the green apple and cherry combo that is offered only during the holiday season. Whatever your fancy may be, you will not be disappointed.

The popcorn flavors are mostly delicious! The popcorn itself seems pretty decent too. The service is usually fast and friendly, I just wish it wasn't so expensive.

Went here for the first time today! The ladies were super helpful and friendly since we just wandered in to check it out. We got a strawberry/caramel/white cheddar mix. It's so good!

Oh man. Andrea, I hope you see this. The Mad Popper has been a cornerstone of making North Carolina feel like home after moving here with my family about a year ago. I take my 3-year-old son in with me every Monday for a refill, typically the flavor of the week. You can get great local flavors (QShack!) and some really unique ones as well (Peach Bellini? What?) And if you're lucky, you'll get something drenched in white chocolate, like the cinnamon roll, or cookies and cream. Mercy, please, it's amazing. The only thing as good (or better) than the popcorn, is the people. Andrea, (and Katie, and all the folks who work here) for those who don't know, is an incredible individual who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. We can't miss a week; it's built into our budget. I often get one savory flavor for my wife, and a sweet one for myself (especially if they've made Toffee). My wife has made it plain that getting her weekly fix is the only thing that makes Mondays manageable. And my son demands he carries the refillable tin for the whole round trip. It's not just popcorn, it's a bucket of love. Go here. Feel good. Eat popcorn.

Delicious kernels of heaven. The Mad Popper Blend is on-point. The Old Bay makes me feel like I’m at the beach. The Kettle Corn is made using an elaborate process involving an industrial-size pot (stand back) - but don’t stand back for too long because that kettle corn is coming.

Delicious jalapeño cheddar popcorn! Variety of interesting and unique flavors, I look forward to trying more. A happy surprise when I wandered into the shop while I had time prior to another appointment in the same shopping center
