Celebrating 20 Years of Goody Gourmets: A Popcorn Legacy in the North Shore
This year marks an incredible milestone for one of Glendale’s most beloved businesses—Goody Gourmets is celebrating 20 years of spreading joy, flavor, and entrepreneurial spirit in the North Shore!
Founded in 2005 by Jackie Chesser, Goody Gourmets began with a simple vision: to create a warm, welcoming space where people could enjoy high-quality, handcrafted popcorn made with heart. What started as a local gem quickly became a go-to destination for snack lovers near and far, thanks to its bold, creative flavors and personal touch.
From cheddar and caramel classics to zesty ranch, spicy cheese, and seasonal creations, Goody Gourmets is known for turning popcorn into something truly special. But popcorn is just the beginning. The shop also features a rotating selection of handmade candies and gourmet gift items—perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth or looking for a unique present.
Whether you’re popping in for a snack or curating a custom gift box, there’s always something new and delicious to discover at Goody Gourmets. 
But Goody Gourmets isn’t just about the snacks. Jackie has made it a mission to support other entrepreneurs—especially women and people of color—by offering mentorship and business coaching through her shop. Her leadership and commitment to community empowerment has made a lasting impact on the North Shore and beyond.
As Goody Gourmets celebrates two decades of success, we raise a (popcorn-filled) bag to Jackie and her team for their creativity, resilience, and dedication to excellence. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering them for the first time, there’s never been a better time to stop by, grab a treat, and celebrate this local treasure.
Here’s to the next 20 years of flavor and community!
