Ira's Legacy Lives on: The 80 year history of Weaver Popcorn

In 1928 Reverend Ira E. Weaver began his business by shucking, bagging, and delivering his own carefully grown popcorn. His hope was to develop a brand of popcorn that not only TASTES GREAT and is of the HIGHEST QUALITY, but COSTS LESS.

Ira's business thrived. Even in the face of the Great Depression, people were willing to spend a few cents on a bag or two of Ira Weaver's fresh, great tasting popcorn. Then, as now, popcorn was considered a special, affordable treat for kids and grownups alike.

Today, Pop Weaver® Popcorn is a leading national brand of microwave popcorn in the United States and is distributed to more than 90 countries worldwide including those in Europe, Russia, and South East Asia. Ira's horse drawn wagon has become a fleet of vans, trucks, and tankers delivering our popcorn to the right places at the right time all over the world. Ira Weaver's hard work and attention to detail has kept this still family-owned business striving for nearly 80 years.

Reverend Weaver's legacy still drives the company. In fact, his grandchildren and great-grandchildren carry on the legacy, and they believe in quality and customer satisfaction just as much as Ira Weaver did. No sale is complete if the customer isn't satisfied, whether down the street or half way around the world. Just the way Ira would have wanted it.
