Our Story
How Mama Moore’s Gourmet Popcorn Started
A PASSION-DRIVEN GOAL WITH HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
Debra Moore is the mother of three bright kids and founder of Mama Moore’s Gourmet Popcorn. The Texas-based company has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 2012. It all began when Debra and her husband, Michael, were brainstorming how to raise money to pay for their youngest son’s college education. As loving parents, they put their thinking caps on and explored ways to raise funds to pay his tuition fees. One idea that caught their attention was to start a mobile popcorn business.
THE VISION GREW BIGGER AND BIGGER …
The demand for Moore’s premier popcorn with its delicious flavors became insatiable. So, in 2015, Debra thought it was the right time to grow the business by finding a suitable retail space. But it wasn’t until 2018 that Mama Moore’s finally moved into their first store. The doors opened on Mother’s Day weekend in Grand Prairie, TX. The timing was deliberate. Family has always been the focal point of the Mama Moore’s brand. Nothing is more important to her than family values, customer satisfaction, and community spirit.
WOMAN & VETERAN-OWNED bUSINESS
As a veteran, Debra learned a great deal from her time in the military. Today, she applies those lessons to her business operations. Mama Moore’s Gourmet Popcorn operates on a system of workplace discipline and positive reinforcement to always be a happy and productive company. They motivate employees and provide clear expectations so everyone works harmoniously to achieve the company’s protocols and high standards. It’s an approach that ensures a quality workplace and our customers always get the best snacks possible.
Fundraising
Mama Moore’s is passionate about community involvement and giving back to the community. That’s why she set up the popcorn fundraising program with a generous split of revenue for charity events, nonprofits, school incentives, etc. It has proved a brilliant way to raise money for worthy causes in our local community and nationwide. Mama Moore’s Gourmet Popcorn partners with many different groups and organizations, and our virtual online fundraising program is super-easy to set up and track your progress.
