Our clients help produce and fulfill orders from Mickey’s Popcorn. Mickey’s Popcorn is owned by a husband and wife duo, Penny and Kenny Mickey, that are two former college basketball players who transferred their zeal from the court to crafting small batch gourmet popcorn. The company also strives to create economic mobility among historically hard-to-serve populations that are close to the husband-and-wife duo’s hearts. The company, in collaboration with the non-profit organization, The Gradus Project, provides paid short-term job placements to help build employability skills, especially among disadvantaged youth and domestic violence survivors.
Supporting Mickey’s Popcorn is also a way to support The Gradus Project. To order some of the most unique popcorn flavors in the world, please check out the Mickey’s Popcorn website for more information.
