    They don’t need me to review them—they’ve been here 100 years. Get your popcorn, get your old-timey candies, get your nostalgia fix, and enjoy your goodies as you walk around historic downtown Wheaton or sit right outside by the fire feature. They’re only letting in 4 people at a time currently due to COVID, but it works out perfectly for me bc I’m using a cane while I heal from throwing my back out. It’s an extremely narrow hallway that probably used to be an alley, so it’s best to send one person in to get your fix. The candy is located on the left wall, and you could probably reach out your right arm and touch the other wall, if you’re not short and physically disabled. Tall people could also likely reach the top shelves of candy, so bring your designated Tall Friend. No bathroom info as I would think it’s for employees only due to the small space, but there are plenty of other places right near the store where one could have access to a bathroom. The outside seating is really nice, too. Lots of options from wrought iron seating, to benches, to concrete half-walls I use as lean-to’s. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for the special needs mom who is now herself temporarily disabled

    Always consistently excellent from the popcorn to the friendliness of the staff. Popcorn prices are great and they have a variety of sizes from just a snack to a huge party bag. Huge selection of candy with hard to find favorites from my youth. Love everything about this store. Please don't change a thing.

    No trip to Wheaton is complete without a trip to the Popcorn Store! This store is a cute little shop built in an alley between two stores and sells affordable candy and delicious popcorn. As a kid it was my favorite store to go to to get candy and as an adult I still enjoy it!

    Absolutely love this place! The Little Popcorn Store in Wheaton is a must-visit if you're a fan of all things sweet and salty. The moment you step in, you're greeted with that irresistible aroma of freshly popped popcorn. Their variety of popcorn flavors is just insane—you can go from classic butter to adventurous options like jalapeño cheddar. And let's not forget about the candy; it's like a nostalgic trip down memory lane. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable, making the whole experience even better. Don't be fooled by its small size; this shop packs a punch in terms of flavor and variety. 10/10, would recommend to anyone looking for a delicious treat.

    Always a fun place to stop when in Downtown Wheaton. Such a unique store that was made in an alley. Be sure to grab a bag of popcorn or some candy!

    One of my favorite places in Wheaton! It’s such a hidden gem! They have a great selection of candy and the popcorn is amazing. It’s classic popcorn that taste good without too much frills.

    Popcorn is always the best, freshly popped. Our last visit, I was a bit disappointed that the selection of vintage candy has diminished. But we will still return for the popcorn!

    If you are in the area, stopping at the Wheaton Popcorn store is a must. It is a candy destination in a uniquely cute (and by cute, I mean NARROW) space. It also has candy. Fun vibe. Wholesome sort of place!

    What can you say about this 100yr young Popcorn Shop?!? Excellent!! EXCELLENT!! So GREAT to be able to share this history with my daughter & wife!!❤💗

    My kids love getting to pick out their own candy. They each got 6 pieces and thought it was so fun, and it was only about $2. Next time I'll direct them toward more of the chocolate & chewy ones, though, as opposed to the crunchy and minty ones.

    This place hasn't changed a bit since I visited as a kid 30+ years ago. My kids enjoyed the experience as well. However we waited 30 minutes in line to enter the store as a summer camp arrived in front of us. Various candies at different prices for all budgets. Decent popcorn as well.

    Amazing little place. So cute and well worth the visit. My grandma went here back in the 40’s

    The smallest candy store I have ever seen. Boyfriend's childhood memory turned into a tradition when we're in town !
