“We have many changes on the horizon such as integrating our kitchens to our Alton Square location and adding more savory snacks and a specialty grocery line of foods,” Rebecca said. “We will have new chocolates and more bulk candy and a new look for the store for 2020.”

Rebecca continued and said: "We have been honored to have provided our popcorn for a list of fashion shows at Sax 5th Avenue and to have been a part of St. Louis Fashion Week for three years. "We have also taken our business to Best of Missouri and the Missouri Botanical Gardens, the Wine and Jazz Festival in Alton and St. Louis Bridal Show and now we will be among the 2019 vendors at The Alton Amphitheatre for summer and fall concerts."
