Karmelkorn
Karmelkorn was an American popcorn retailer. It was founded in 1929 in Casper, Wyoming, by Bill O'Sullivan. Initially, Karmelkorn stores sold popcorn and caramel corn out of downtown storefronts, but by the 1960s, the chain began operating in shopping malls. By 1982, the chain had 270 shops in 43 states.[1]
