ALTON - Poputopia Gourmet Popcorn and Sweets is open at their 120 Alton Square Mall Drive Suite A-11 location in Alton with Easter candy, chocolate gift baskets, and specialty grocery items, despite being closed for a few weeks after water damage. Workers cut a valve to a water line while working at the mall and it sparked some water issues inside the mall.

Poputopia lost all their back stock inventory and the flooring and fixtures had to be replaced.
