Since its inception, Del's Popcorn Shop has been more than just a place to satisfy a sweet tooth—it's been a testament to hard work, dedication, and the pursuit of a dream. Bought by Mike and Trudy Jacobs, Del's in Mount Zion began its journey in a modest rental space within JJ's Mobil Gas Station, where they crafted their delectable treats from a government-inspected kitchen located in their own barn.
In 2007, a pivotal moment arrived for the Jacobs family as they moved Del's Popcorn Shop to their very own storefront off Highway 121. This relocation marked a significant milestone, providing ample space not only to continue making their signature popcorn but also to expand their offerings to include freshly made fudge and a variety of other irresistible treats.
The transition from a kitchen in their barn to a dedicated retail space enabled Mike and Trudy to further refine their recipes and expand their menu. Del's became renowned not just for its popcorn but also for its creamy fudge, made with premium ingredients and crafted with care.
"Our goal has always been to provide top-quality treats that bring joy to our customers," adds Trudy Jacobs. "Having our own space allowed us to focus on craftsmanship and customer satisfaction in a way that wasn't possible before."
With the move, Del's Popcorn Shop became a cornerstone of the community, drawing locals and visitors alike with the promise of fresh, homemade goodness. The storefront not only showcased their products but also became a hub for community gatherings and a popular stop for those seeking gifts or a special treat for themselves.
Over the years, Del's has continued to innovate while staying true to its roots. They have introduced new flavors of popcorn, expanded their fudge offerings, and embraced seasonal specialties that celebrate local flavors and traditions.
As they look to the future, Del's remains committed to providing the same exceptional products and exceptional service that have defined them since day one. Whether you're craving their famous popcorn, indulging in their rich fudge, or discovering their latest seasonal creation, a visit to Del's Popcorn Shop promises a taste of tradition and a warm welcome that feels like home.
