This year, we proudly celebrated 15 years of popping at Faris Gourmet Popcorn, and
none of it would have been possible without the incredible support of our Fond du Lac community. From our very first batch in 2010 to today, you have welcomed us, encouraged us, and made us feel truly supported. We are deeply grateful for your loyalty, trust, and continued patronage over the years.
Faris Gourmet Popcorn has always been about more than popcorn—it’s about
connection, family, tradition, and sharing moments together. Whether you’ve stopped in for a favorite flavor, shared our popcorn at celebrations, or recommended us to friends and family, your support has helped shape who we are and what we do. What started as a high school business concept by my sister Jenny in 2009 based on our dad Jeff’s love for his nightly bowl of popcorn, has turned into a nationally distributed product in thousands of stores, and shipping to all 50 states and beyond. It has been truly awesome to watch our little popcorn business grow into something so much more, and it wouldn’t be possibly without the support of our Fond du Lac community.
Giving back to the community that has given us so much has always been close to our hearts. Over the years, we’ve been honored to support local fundraisers, provide corporate gifts that celebrate local pride, and contribute donations to community food pantries and programs. These efforts are made possible because of you, and we’re proud to play a small role in strengthening the community we all call home.
As we look ahead, we remain committed to serving Fond du Lac with the same care, creativity, and quality you’ve come to expect. Thank you for supporting a local business, for growing with us, and for being part of our story. We look forward to popping many more memories (and flavors!) together in the years to come.

We THANK YOU so much, and want to finish out the year with a celebratory sale for each of you. Please enjoy 15% OFF all online orders at www.FarisPopcorn.com now through Saturday January 3, 2026. Use code “15YEARS” at checkout.
With heartfelt appreciation, from my family and me, Alison Faris Helleberg
