JULINGTON CREEK, Fla.- Located in a shopping center where Racetrack Road and State Road 13 meet is a family-owned popcorn and candy shop called The Poppin Box. The shop is owned and operated by Rebecca and Bill Turner who purchased the shop from the original owners and have been running the store for three years this December. Over the years the Turners have grown the store physically and in their involvement in the community. The Poppin Box expanded their store to the vacant unit next door to their original store. This expansion allows them to host birthday parties, community events and other private gatherings. They have three annual events throughout the year, these consist of their spring fling, back to school event and their Jingle Jam. The expansion not only allowed their business to be more versatile in the services they provide, but it also provides the community with a fun and safe environment for kids to have fun. Ms. Turner is recognized in the community by people of all ages as The Popcorn Lady. The Popcorn Lady runs the store’s day-to-day operations working with customers, creating social media content and making sweets! The Turner family is always coming up with new treats and flavors to keep customers coming back for more! They also accept flavor requests from their customers. Many frequent shoppers also buy their own spices and sauces when their taste buds get inspired and bring them to The Popcorn Lady to do her magic! Those customers are also invited back to the shop to do taste tests on the new flavor. This neighborhood gem is open Monday through Saturday and is the perfect spot for all holiday treats!
