Since 1940, the aroma of hot caramel tossed over giant kernels of popcorn has lured millions of visitors to storefronts that lie beneath the red and white awnings on the famous boardwalk of Ocean City, Md. Johnsons Popcorn has grown to three boardwalk locations. As a summer tradition, large groups of popcorn lovers line up in front of Johnson s stores to purchase cups, bags and tubs and refill tubs of caramel popcorn and peanut crunch. The company also offers corporate orders, party favors and gift certificates. It sells one- and two-gallon tins decorated in party and ocean designs. Johnsons Popcorn has been featured on the Food Network.
