As more than just a “popcorn company,” Smoky Mountain Popcorn Company in Pigeon Forge, TN, thinks outside the “pop,” offering guests new flavors and preparation techniques as well as other products featuring everyone’s favorite snack, popcorn! Grounded on faith, Smoky Mountain Popcorn Company was founded by Dr. Milind Desai and Chester Crowley. Their beliefs led them to reach a standard of perfection that produced superior popcorn, now known throughout East Tennessee.
Nancy Thursbay joined the team in 2011 and has continued to uphold those founding principles of excellence and has since developed even more flavors and new preparation techniques that produce the same beloved product.
