Veteran Owned Harker Heights, TX Business Popping Snacks In Style

(Harker Heights, Texas) - There's always a new spin on a food that everyone enjoys, isn't there? Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, of course. Just imagine a normal cheese pizza - feels like it's missing something, doesn't it?

Of course we're aren't trying to put down cheese pizza, because we all love just a normal pizza sometimes. But when you add a new topping or flavor, it does change the food item's flavor. So with new toppings, new flavors make themselves known.

But what about other foods like burgers or salads? We can't forget about different flavored pretzels, right? But we'll focus on one snack today: popcorn.

One Popcorn Shop In Harker Heights Adding More Flavors

POP! CornUtopia is just one of those stores you wonder how you haven't heard about in Central Texas. I know I certainly didn't know it was in operation until KCEN recently wrote a profile regarding the owners.

KCEN went into detail about the shop, which revealed the owners met on, you guessed it, a movie date. Amy Summerill, who owns the shop with her husband Troy, said she knew she'd marry the man she met that day based on the way he buttered the popcorn.

True love is certainly found in the most creative ways isn't it? The business also took some time to fully come together, but eventually the store found it's way to Harker Heights, which soon we'll all have to visit.

I mean just take a look at the menu here. There's got to be a flavor for everyone here right?

Top 20 Restaurants Central Texans Wish Would Come to Temple

A while back, I asked the good people of Temple if they could picture a good restaurant to fill the lot on North General Bruce Drive where the soon to be torn down Long John Silver's stood.

This was before it was announced that a Dutch Bros. Coffee location would open there (which was one of the places I predicted as a contender in our article).

So now Dutch Bros. is open in that spot, but the responses to my survey were interesting because they paint a picture of just how diverse Temple's population is. People recommended some familiar restaurants with locations in the surrounding area, but also a few I'd never even heard of.

Here are the top 20 results of the survey. Let's see what the good people of Temple are craving!
