Poppa Maize opens in downtown Tempe, sells 20+ flavors of gourmet popcorn

Phoenix gourmet popcorn maker Poppa Maize has opened its long-awaited Mill Avenue stroe – right next to, conveniently enough, Madcap Theaters.

Poppa Maize, which won a year’s free rent in downtown Tempe in a 2009 contest, finally opened Monday.

The store sells more than 20 flavors of popcorn ranging from pineapple-jalapeño to German chocolate to Pina Colada.

Snack-size bags start at $1.29.
