Del’s Popcorn Shop. Del’s is a gourmet retail popcorn and confectionary based in Springfield, IL. Del’s was stitched into the fabric of Central Illinois at a time after the Great Depression and before World War II. The ingredients and approach to creation is reminiscent of a bygone era. At a time when bootstrapping the American Dream was very much in bloom, an entrepreneur by the name of John Baldwin began to sell popcorn and candy from his print shop. Del’s have been serving the Central Illinois community ever since. Del’s has an extensive menu of cooked-from-scratch popcorn and confectionery products including seasoned popcorn, cheddar cheese popcorn, caramel corn, fudge, peanut brittle, and caramel apples. The Company has a devoted customer base of all ages which span generations. In recent years, Del’s has expanded to offer its favorite products nationwide at www.delspopcornshop.com. Del’s has also become a go-to option for non-profits, schools, and other community organization to raise money through the Del’s Virtual Popcorn Fundraising platform.
