About Us

Gerdy’s Gourmet Popcorn was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: to bring JOY and connection to people through the love of popcorn. Founded by Nina, a passionate entrepreneur with a heart for community, Gerdy's started as a local favorite and quickly grew into a staple for popcorn lovers seeking unique, handcrafted flavors. From humble beginnings in Waukegan, Illinois, Gerdy's has always been about more than just popcorn—it's about family, creativity, and making every moment special.

Nina's journey began with a desire to create something delicious and memorable, using only the finest, non-GMO ingredients. Every batch is crafted with care, from the classic buttery flavors to bold, adventurous blends that push the boundaries of taste. With a focus on quality and innovation, Gerdy’s delivers an exceptional popcorn experience that’s both delicious and thoughtfully made.

But what truly sets us apart is our deep connection to the community. Gerdy's Gourmet Popcorn has become a part of local celebrations, events, and gatherings, spreading happiness one kernel at a time. As a small business with big dreams, we are committed to giving back, supporting local initiatives, and bringing people together with our dangerously addictive flavors.

At Gerdy's, we believe that popcorn is more than a snack—it’s a way to connect, celebrate, and share joy. Our story is still unfolding, but one thing remains true: every bag is filled with passion, flavor, and a sprinkle of love.
