Popcorn Express

Mahalo popcorn express. Your quart sized red colored popcorn made the perfect kanreki party favors. Besides, who doesn’t love great popcorn? Aloha!

BEST KETTLE CORN EVER! Ever since my bf brought me leftover kettle corn that someone bought at his work, I’ve been craving it ever since. Finally, we found out it was from Popcorn Express. We drove this morning and saw it was more of a warehouse building but we lucked out and the man (who I assume is the owner) was able to provide us with a bag even though we did not put in an order. As soon as we stepped out of the car, the smell of the popcorn had our mouths watering
We got a long cylindrical bag for $ 10 (rainbow) and eating it in the car when it was still warm and fresh was soo good and addicting!
I will definitely place orders here in the future!

STOCKING STUFFER ALERT!
If you’re not done Christmas shopping, PAY ATTENTION because I’m going to save you some time and money right now. The owner of Popcorn Express has created the SMART KUP drink holder. I already had people ask me how to get the SMART KUP after I gave it to them, so here’s the deal. They are available at the Popcorn Express warehouse off of Iwilei Road. Call for hours of operation, or go to
for more info, or you can order on
.
Buy SMART KUP car drink holders ($ ²⁰⁄₂) for everyone on your list that owns the 32oz or 40oz Hydroflasks, Tiger/​Sahara 1L, 1.5L, or anyone who drinks oversize drinks that don’t fit in regular car cup holders. The SMART KUP holder also fits a 750ml wine bottle. When would you need that? When you buy a bottle and don’t want your bottle rolling all over the floor, or when you are going to a BYOB party with a nice bottle of wine. I think the law is «no open containers in the front seat» so as long as it’s sealed I think it’s ok, right?
WHY?!
This is brilliant. I have a collection of Hydroflasks, with flip top and straw tops. Sometimes those flip tops look like they’re closed but they aren’t. When they fall over on my front passenger seat (because there’s nowhere to put it), everything gets wet. I’ve destroyed library books, important invoices, receipts, and also got my friends butt totally wet when she unsuspectingly sat in the seat.
SMART KUP turns a normal cup holder into a larger cup holder, one that fits a wide mouth Hydroflask (or bottle of wine). It fits differently in every car, since every car is a little different. I brought a bunch in to work as gifts and I’ve never seen my coworkers so excited to see something as boring as a drink holder.
Oh, the popcorn is still great from here, see my previous review about the popcorn. I can eat a whole large bag by myself. Yup. It’s sweet but not too sweet, and salty but too salty. It’s the Goldilocks of popcorn: JUST RIGHT. I use them all the time for goodie bags. I brought big bags of popcorn in for some coworkers, and one of them asked to switch her popcorn for a drink holder! I had to make a second trip back to get more drink holders, because the drink holders were in high demand. They also sell the Smart Kup holders at McCully Bike; I saw them for $ 11. I need two just for my car.

The best kettlecorn I have ever eaten! My girls don’t like popcorn because the kernels always get stuck in their teeth. Duane has found a way to get even my little 3 year old to chow down on the yummy popcorn. Tried out the caramel corn with coconut oil today and it was delicious! He also has car holder for your hydroflask which is amazing as Christmas gifts because everyone has one now!

Thank you, Popcorn express, for the rainbow colored and bagged 1 quart popcorn bags you made for our son’s birthday party.
It was a little hard to find your address, but thanks to Unilocal and mapquest, we found you on a small back road in Iwilei. It was so nice of you to let us have an extra bag to sample. These were simply used as favors and people couldn’t wait till the end of the party. The kids tore them open as soon as the bags were in their hands!
We plan on coming back for our daughter’s party in about a month.

Absolutely Awesome!!! I emailed before they opened and Duane was so quick to respond. I needed a bunch of quart sized popcorns for a birthday party the next day. Duane was awesome and so accommodating. Everything from ordering to pick up was simple and seamless. Their popcorn is so ono. Our guests loved them! Highly recommend. True professionals and a super delicious product!!! Will definitely come back. We are fans of Popcorn Express!

BEST POPCORN! Awesome for party favors. Thank you so much for helping my daughter! Even with the heavy rains and the flooding you were still there to help us with our last minute request. My daughters favors «mason jars» were filled with your wonderful popcorn! The colors were perfect and people loved the taste! Mahalo from the Yomes, Ripp and Ariola family!

If u can get over the location — awesome place! They can customize your colors and who doesn’t like kettle corn or candied popcorn? Nice and warm and insanely big bags for an affordable price.

Had the best experience w/​Duane! He’s such a professional and truly accommodating! I just needed a small order of 20 quart sized bags for a pregnancy announcement. He didn’t scoff the way other businesses do, requiring a 50 or sometimes 100 minimum order on product. I did give him a couple weeks notice, but he really only asked for a few days! I asked for a pink and blue mix, since we don’t know what we’re having yet, he provided it perfectly! Love the quick and efficient service! He even threw in a couple extra bags at no charge! The kettle corn is PERFECT! The best combination of sweet and salty! I already have a bunch of other ideas in mind for future orders! Thanks Duane!

This popcorn is like crack! I have never seen grown adults beg and throw tantrums for popcorn till now!
I put this popcorn in mason jars for favors for my Grandson’s 1^st birthday party. All I can say is it was a huge hit. Very tasty and fresh. Duane was quick in responding to emails and a pleasure to work with.
The overachiever I am, I ordered WAY too much so luckily I had a whole extra 40 quart bag to divide up and give out to who ever couldn’t survive another day without more!
Don’t hesitate to order from here, you will be happy you did.

Great customer service. Just call & place your order. It’s that easy. Reasonable prices too. Refer to the website. Bought minis for my son’s bday party to put in the goodie bags. This will be my go to place for party favors from now on.

These guys are awesome! Super affordable and the popcorn is SO ono. Had their popcorn for son’s first birthday luau centerpieces and they gave me a big discount. We are grateful and will definitely use them again for future parties!

Aside from the popcorn being so delicious, I must say the service I received from Duane was awesome!
He was able to accommodate me last minute in making 30 bags of popcorn for my boys birthday party. Apparently I misunderstood him when we spoke a few days prior to picking up the popcorn at the moiliili location. I was suppose to call him back to let him know how much I wanted to order but I assumed that he would have a whole stash ready for me to purchase. Anyways, instead of turning me down he said he would make it for me and within and hour or two he had them ready for me at his warehouse for pickup.
Thank you so much Duane!

Delicious and fairly priced. What more can you ask for? I’ve ordered a bunch of times. Every time I have a party I order. I even order for goodie bags for my daughter’s school. I have nothing more to say except I will continue to go back.

Every Christmas, my dad orders about 4 Jumbo bags of Red and Green kettle corn from Popcorn Express to give out to his clients. Like Santa, he walks through the door with 4 HUMONGOUS garbage bags of popcorn. Unlike Santa, none of it is for me.
In the years that he has worked with Popcorn Express, he has had only wonderful things to say. Ordering is quick and easy and service is exceptional! They are truly appreciative of their loyal customers and really show it!
The only downside is their Iwilei location. Parking is difficult to find and it may be difficult to locate if you are not familiar with the area. That said, if you order more than $ 60 worth, they will deliver for free in the Honolulu area!
Their kettle corn is the best I’ve ever had! They don’t crumble easily and stay fresh for quite awhile. And the colors are so pretty! I definitely recommend Popcorn Express for fundraisers or party favors since you can customize colors.

It all started when my daughter entered preschool and Halloween came around and I needed a goodie bag worthy of a wannabe Alpha Mom. I wanted to do something different and special, but didn’t involve a lot of work. As luck would have it, I went to a party and tried for the first time kettle corn by Popcorn Express. Truly Hawaii’s BEST kettle corn! So fresh and crunchy and the perfect blend of salty and sweet! I love it that they can customize the popcorn colors for your order. I ordered the 40 quart size ($ 40 — super affordable!) in orange and black and packaged it in cellophane bags, tied it with curling ribbon, and slapped on a cute tag from
. For the centerpieces of my son’s first birthday party, I again turned to popcorn express. I filled tin pails with the multi colored popcorn so it resembled a giant gumball machine. Super cute. Since then, I’ve order the prepackaged one quart bags for goodie bags. It’s perfect because everyone loves eating it and I can always pick colors that match my theme. Duane is super awesome. I’ve picked up at their Iwilei location, but also have met them at craft fairs so I find it really convenient. I love using them for parties!

I recently found out about Popcorn Express through my work’s fundraiser for our employee-​giving campaign. THEIR POPCORN IS AMAZING. I thought all popcorn tasted the same… buttery and leaves this oily residue on your fingers after eating, but Popcorn Express is totally different.
Movie popcorn. and even the ones you buy from the store and pop at home doesn’t compare. It’s soft when you throw it into your mouth, but crunchy as you chew… and the taste… you can taste both sweet and salty. There’s also no mess it leaves on your fingers, so weird.
Duane, the guy who makes the popcorn must have some secret recipe cause I swear, once I opened the bag. I couldn’t stop eating. I heard the popcorn comes in all kinds of colors and you can also get the plain ones too. It’s really useful for graduations or other such events, as you can use school colors and whatnot.
Not sure how the process works when ordering, but I’m pretty sure the website or the other reviews can help with that. I will definitely support Popcorn Express in the future. I had bought 5 bags and sold most of them to friends… wished I had saved more for myself oh well.

Mahalo for your service! Best kettle corn on the island. I just picked up (2) 40 quart bags — original & multicolor. Our guests will most definitely enjoy this ono stuff at our party!
*Cash/​check only. I ran to K-​Mart to grab $$ and he was so kind to give me a complimentary bag of popcorn. I think I need to go do some kettlebell workouts after eating half the bag!

Got a 4-​quart bag of non-​colored for $ 6 (it was for a fundraiser) and it was so good! I love kettle popcorn and Popcorn Express really hits the spot. The 4-​quart bag fed my snacking needs for an entire week — it’s more than you think for sure.
The recipe is so addictive that it takes a great deal of willpower to tear myself away from the bag and not eat the entire thing in one go! I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up another bag in the future.

I’ve got a terrible addiction to kettle popcorn and Express Popcorn fuels that desire!
