About

The journey of Yum Yum’s Gourmet Popcorn began in June of 2012 in Southaven, Mississippi. Currently, there are two locations, one in the metro Memphis area, and one in Southaven, Mississippi. If anyone had told the owner then that they would be “popping corn” on everyone they never would have believed it.

Across America, the best gourmet popcorn shops attract customers from hundreds or even thousands of miles. These shops have a special grip on their customers. Popcorn lovers and new converts often stand in lines all the way out of the door and around the building. There were security guards inside these facilities just to maintain order. This was fascinating and Samuel McClenton had to know the secret!

Through diligent research, experimenting and self-education, and a little help here & there, the hidden secrets for making the best “gourmet” popcorn were introduced and Yum Yum’s Gourmet Popcorn was born! The first hurdle was where to locate. The Chicago market was too crowded and the competition too stiff. After acknowledging the Lord and led to start the business in Southaven, Mississippi, because there were no popcorn shops and it is close to Memphis, Tenn. The first Yum Yum’s popcorn shop was opened on June 1, 2012 at 9049 Highway 51 N. Southaven, Ms.

We specialize in yummy popcorn flavors such as our #1 top seller, caramel/cheese mix (Chicago style), then pecan caramel, cheddar cheese, birthday cake, and chocolate swirl, and our rainbow flavors consisting of a mix of watermelon, strawberry, blueberry, grape, green apple, cherry, and vanilla popcorn flavors. We also carry that old-fashioned butter-flavored popcorn. Our recipe beats any movie theater’s popcorn because our corn is “melt-in-your-mouth” tender!

We also carry popcorn tubs and tins in several varieties including, one, two, 3.5, and 6.5 gallons sizes. We will mix any tub or tin with any combination of popcorn flavors we have in stock. Try, one-half cheddar cheese, and one-half white cheddar popcorn. We got you as the tubs/tins come with a three-way divider inside, which separates three popcorn flavors. Perhaps you want a whole tin or tub of the fiesta mix popcorn, not a problem! Better yet, mix a little bit of it all in one tin or tub. We’re here to please.

We use the absolute best ingredients on our popcorn. Yum Yum’s popcorn is kept in glass warmers in order to maintain the fresh, crispy taste, and colorful look. You will smell the alluring and addictive popcorn flavors before you open our doors. Walking into the shop is like walking into a huge popcorn bag. You “melt” and smile. Yum Yum’s Gourmet Popcorn is a happy place. Satisfaction is guaranteed.

THANKS FOR POPPING IN AT YUM YUM’S GOURMET POPCORN AND HAVE A
POPA-LICIOUS DAY.
