Kettle Corn Business Time Lapse

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

This is what a typical Tuesday looks like for us that the Springfield Farmers Market. We now mainly do repeat customers who want multiple bags. I now have to bring more than 100 lbs of popcorn, more than 50 lbs of sugar and at least 9 oils. If it rains and we don’t make it, certain customers get bitchy that they didn’t get their corn for that week.

Take a look at our first blog post from June 2006.  Our first day in business was at this market. Notice it says: “we sold about 50 bags that day”.

OK, the William Tell Overture music was an obvious steal from Stanley Kubricks film “A Clockwork Orange”. When I hear this music, I immediately think of Alex and the two girls scene. Rent the film if you have no idea what I mean.
