Gourmet Gift Retailer Launches Sweepstakes in Honor of Anniversary
LAKE FOREST, Ill., Oct. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The Popcorn Factory, a
leading gourmet popcorn and edible gifts company, is celebrating 30
years of delicious, fun gifts that delight families, friends,
children and business customers. In honor of its 30th anniversary
and National Popcorn Month, The Popcorn Factory has launched a "30
Gift Giveaway" sweepstakes. The sweepstakes, which runs now through
November 23, 2009, will provide one lucky grand prize winner with
30 gifts for their friends and family (up to a $6,000 value) just
in time for the holiday season. "Our loyal customers have been
instrumental in our success during the past 30 years. In addition
to their loyalty, many customers have contributed ideas for some of
the great gifts we have developed," said Cheryl Zatz, Vice
President of Marketing at The Popcorn Factory. "We want to
recognize our customers during this milestone celebration year,"
she said. Over the past 30 years, The Popcorn Factory has been
recognized for its rich history and contributions to the community.
For the second year in a row, The Popcorn Factory donated 4,000
bags of fresh popped caramel corn to entice residents in nearby
suburbs to donate to Lambs Farm, a non-profit organization
dedicated to empowering adults with developmental disabilities to
lead personally fulfilling lives, during Popcorn Days. The Popcorn
Factory has a rich history which goes back to the inventor of the
famous popcorn machines, now popular in movie theaters today. In
2006, The Popcorn Factory, a subsidiary of 1-800-FLOWERS.COM, Inc.
(NASDAQ:FLWS), was recognized by Guinness World Records for
building the World's Largest Popcorn Ball, which weighed in at
almost two and half tons with a circumference of eight feet. The
record-setting, edible popcorn ball made headlines not only when it
was created, but also when it traveled and was destroyed in a
festive event held in Denver, Colorado. The Popcorn Factory
continues to bring life and fun to consumers with its endearing
gift items and delicious products. In recent years, The Popcorn
Factory also has been featured on The Food Network, the TODAY Show,
YouTube and iVillage.com. For more information on the "30 Gift
Giveaway" sweepstakes, please visit
