{"title":"Cobb's Gourmet Popcorn","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom Our Archive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Erin Cobb \u0026amp; Rowan Ring believe in having a great time and making unbelievable popcorn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt started innocently enough... A stovetop in Seattle, some salted butter and a little bit of luck making popcorn for friends and family. Things were simple at first. No License. No Inspections. Just two friends and a family recipe. Made in small batches the hard way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs word began to spread... Their phones were getting pretty busy. Friends ordered by text and weekends weren't enough...Cobb's \"Bootleg Popcorn\" Operation needed equipment. They cashed in their savings to buy a 20-year old popper from The Stratosphere Casino. Then put up a simple website to make orders easier... That's when all hell broke loose. The next day the biggest popcorn supplier in Seattle shuttered 4 locations just before Christmas and orders POURED in for hundreds of gallons of popcorn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey started Popping literally around the clock and called on every man, woman, and child who could help to frantically fill orders and help save Christmas. All told they went from 20 Gallons per week to selling over 3,000 gallons in 6 weeks from the back of a rented kitchen. Challenges bring out the best in people and their people had banded together to help them save Christmas traditions for hundreds of families in the Northwest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's what they're all about — A Passion for Popcorn. They got to work renovating an Old Bakery in Pike Place Market, where they could be close to — chefs, chocolatiers, cheese makers and farmers — for advice, finding inspiration everywhere they looked. Cobb's is built on the belief that love is greater than fear. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/madeinwashington.com\/blogs\/blog-post\/makers-weve-worked-with-through-the-years\" title=\"Makers we've worked with in the past.\"\u003eExplore more makers from our archive.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/madeinwashington.com\/blogs\/news\/makers-weve-worked-with-through-the-years\" title=\"Makers we've worked with in the past.\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/madeinwashington.com\/blogs\/maker\" title=\"Meet Our Makers\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;\"\u003eBrowse our current collection of active local makers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/0546\/2188\/collections\/Cobb_s-Gourmet-Popcorn.jpg?v=1783973213","url":"https:\/\/madeinwashington.com\/collections\/cobbs-gourmet-popcorn.oembed","provider":"Made In Washington","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
