Our Story
It started innocently enough... A stovetop in Seattle,some salted butter and
a little bit of luck
making popcorn
for friends and family.
Things Were Simple at First.
No License.
No Inspections.
Just two friends and a family recipe.
Made in small batches
the hard way.
As Word Began to Spread...
Our phones were getting pretty busy.
Friends ordered by text and weekends weren't enough...
Cobb's "Bootleg Popcorn"
Operation needed
equipment.
We cashed in our savings to buy a 20-year old popper from The Stratosphere Casino.
Then put up a simple website to make orders easier...
That's When All Hell Broke Loose.
The
next freaking day
the biggest popcorn supplier in Seattle shuttered 4 locations just before Christmas and orders POURED in for hundreds of gallons.
We started Popping literally
around the clock
and called on every
man, woman, and child who could help to frantically
fill orders and help save Christmas.
All told we went from 20 Gallons per week to selling over 3,000 gallons in 6 weeks from the back of a rented kitchen.
Making Unbelievable Popcorn Brings People Together.
This photo was taken at 1:00 am. Just 23 hours before Christmas.
The moment we realized we were going to make it.
Challenges bring out the best in people and OUR people had banded together to help us save Christmas traditions for hundreds of families in the Northwest.
That's what we're all about.
A Passion for Popcorn
We got to work renovating an Old Bakery in Pike Place Market,
where we could be close to —chefs, chocolatiers, cheese makers and farmers—for advice, finding inspiration everywhere we looked.
Cobb's is built on the belief that love is greater than fear.
Our formula is simple, We use
Exceptional Ingredients, Prepared the Hard Way
by two guys who actually give a damn.
