SPECIAL PROFILE

A Passion For Popcorn

Great Things are Popping at Outer Banks Popcorn Shoppe

Things are popping all along the Outer Banks, especially (and literally) at Outer Banks Popcorn Shoppe. Owner Ted Jagucki is elevating the popcorn game with his made from scratch small-batch offerings in a variety of unique and mouth watering flavors.

Ted moved from northern Ohio to the Outer Banks in 2004. “I saw a need for locally-made snacks and no one was producing and selling gourmet popcorn here yet.” He grew up loving popcorn, and has always loved to cook, experiment and create in the kitchen. “We focus on taking raw ingredients and turning them into excellent flavor combinations for our customers. That’s why we cook onsite in each of our stores.”

They ship their delicious popcorn to anywhere in the United States with their online shopping platform and also help organizations fundraise for causes locally and nationwide.

Running a business for that long is no easy feat. Jagucki attributes the success of the Popcorn Shoppe to the loyal returning customers each year. “We try to offer an experience when you are in our stores. People are surprised by our generous samples and variety of more than 20 flavors”.

When a customer walks into Outer Banks Popcorn Shoppe, their senses are immediately met with the smell of rich buttery caramel and candy coated delights. That tantalizing caramel recipe is used to create many of their delicious flavors. Their best sellers are Drizzle–a caramel popcorn drizzled with white and milk chocolate—and Corolla Crunch, which perfectly pairs their homemade caramel with candied almonds and cashews.

While the comforts of caramel are tempting, Outer Banks Popcorn Shoppe also has an array of one-of-a-kind flavors, including dill, bacon-n-cheese, jalapeno cheddar, and even watermelon, as well as a Flavor of the Month and seasonal flavors.

“That’s the fun part. A lot of people are like, ‘I’ve never seen or heard of anything like this. How do you have all these different flavors of popcorn?’ People are sort of blown away.”

Most know The Cotton Gin as a must-stop shop for fine gifts, beachwear, souvenirs and so much more, but this retailer has a long-standing history within the Outer Banks. A local landmark that holds almost a century of memories, The Cotton Gin started from humble beginnings and continues to adapt to the times and tourists. Tommy Wright’s family has been in the Outer Banks for nearly 200 years. His great-great grandfather, Jacob Francis Wright, shipwrecked in Duck back in the early 1800s. Calling these barrier islands his new home, Wright and his family acclimated to their new environment.

 

Adaptation is a common theme for the Wright family. Tommy and his wife Candace, who continue to steer The Cotton Gin, have seen not only their business change with the times, but the Outer Banks as a vacation destination as well. A farm market in Jarvisburg eventually transformed and flourished into several retail locations dotting the Outer Banks.

 

“As the area changed and tourism took off in the 1960s, the family saw people coming for vacations, so they began to grow vegetables and things developed from there,” says Tommy Wright. The Wright family expanded upon the farm market and began to remodel a working cotton gin, later transforming the gin into The Cotton Gin general store in the late 1960s. While the additions to the farm store drew visitors, it was their encounters with the Wright family that kept people coming back year after year, which is something that remains true today.
