The Third Annual Holiday Factory Sale is on Saturday, December 6th, at the Popzup Popcorn Factory in Somersworth, New Hampshire. (Somersworth, N.H.)

In addition, each person who stops by gets a single serve bag of popcorn and gets to add another bag of popcorn to our "GET A BAG, GIVE A BAG" donation box, as part of our ongoing commitment to support Gather's Meals 4 Kids Program. This program provides nourishing meals to the many at risk kids in the New Hampshire Seacoast area, who go without meals when school is out. So far this year, we are proud to have provided over 2,500 bags of popcorn to Gather in support of the Meals 4 Kids Program. Come in from the cold to a hot cup of spiced apple cider and save 30%. “Our customers mean the world to us, but we seldom get a chance to meet in person. So, we are super excited to open our doors again this year. Nolan, Marty and I will be the greeters during this sale and look forward to meeting everyone who stops by,” says Julie Lapham, Popzup Co-Founder and CEO.     At Popzup Popcorn, it all starts with non-GMO kernels from family farms seasoned with farm fresh ingredients like butter, cheddar cheese, and maple. “It feels good to follow our dream to make healthy and delicious popcorn, and to have people every day let me know they love our products,” says Marty Lapham, Popzup Co-Founder and President. “It goes to show that doing the right thing is the right thing to do.” Popzup Popcorn is sold at 1,000’s of retail outlets and on their webstore as well.
