The Popcorn Cannery

I have coming here since I was a child. It's the building with the red stripe across the top. It has a great big window so you can see the action! There's so many flavors! Staff and service are outstanding. If you want to try multiple, get a few small bags. You can't go wrong. Even get a big bag of buttered popcorn. You can't buy different sized tins and fill with a few kinds too. Check them out!

1/2024:DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Great, friendly customer service. Popcorn Cannery is part of Buffett's Candies family if you didn't know. Similar layout as Buffett's Candies, but it's gourmet popcorn. Drive over the railroad tracks, go about 400 feet, and there it is; located right next to B & H Wholesale on 7th Street.Goodness gracious, there's quite a number of flavors and sizes to choose. Naturally in NM there's Red Chile, Green Chile and Christmas flavored corn. I saw caramel, White Cheddar, Butter Rum, Cinnamon, Chicago mix, green apple, cherry and more. However, you can never go wrong with just plain old-fashioned butter popcorn. Please give Popcorn Cannery a try.

Locally owned and operated, these guys have been popping the goods since 1981and pop over 400 pounds of raw corn an hour. They offer fundraising opportunities and educational tours to groups of 10-30 people where you can get a behind the scenes look at how it all goes down. Cool!!!The staff is mahvelous, sooooo super friendly, busting out the samples of chocolate covered popcorn and chatting it up while you take it all in. Tons of flavors and other candy treats available from the Buffet empire.This place definitely brings out your inner child :)

Large deliciously flavored popcorn in dozens of flavors with bright colors and perfectly fresh texture. They even have chocolate dipped ones. Great treat for any time of day.

What a great place for gifts everyone loves. This place has become an easy go to for me to get stocking stuffers or Easter baskets. The little kids love the Carmel corn rabbits and the flavored corn is perfect the older kids. I can get my lost done for under $40. The friendly staff help make this place over the top. Go in and try some popcorn, you will be back for more!

My Happy place anytime is coming down to the Popcorn Cannary, truly puts a smile on my face on any day! Who doesn't love POPCORN & COTTON CANDY!!They offer a variety of tasty flavorful popcorn~~ chocolate,caramel,cheddar cheese, chili or sour cream and onion........shoot any flavor you can think of they probably do!!If you need bags of Cotton Candy for a special event or maybe that perfect "Cotton Candy" Martini for girls evening than Popcorn Cannary is a must. You can always stop in and get a medium size bag of fresh popcorn and I mean good medium size bag for only $3.50 that's a steal and way better than a bag of chips and your supporting a small business that has been around for years! Mario & staff are always so helpful they really go out of the way even if it is only to get two bags of fresh Cotton Candy they will always make you feel special and meet every need for you or a special event.

I've been running trails in the Valley for well over a decade, and--beyond the shade, wildlife, lack of traffic, and feeling like I'm nowhere near the concrete jungle--what keeps me coming back, keeps me fascinated, is knowing that I'll never discover everything there is to see and experience. There's always something waiting to surprise and delight, a reminder that I haven't seen it all; that wonder and joy keeps me a little kid-like. Same holds true for the developed and commercial side of these parts, and popcorn is one of those things that appeals to kids of all ages; thus the gem-like quality of the Popcorn Cannery left me grinning ear to ear like I'd just lifted the lid off a treasure chest. Tucked away amongst storage and distribution warehouses, waiting patiently for over 30 years to finally be discovered and added to my collection of Valley charms, the Cannery is part of the Buffett family's sweet and salty empire, still owned and operated by George Buffett's grown children. Go ahead, press your face up against the window in the lobby to witness mass popcorn manufactury in all its aromatic glory; If you're lucky, Bonnie will be behind the counter ready with stories and snack-sized tasting portions of their 12 or so flavors, many of which have been developed at the behest of local customers. Don't worry about the (nonexistent) wait; their "Now Serving" ticket system's been stuck on #1 for years, and it's easy to imagine you're the first to discover this wonder--Buffett insisted on word-of-mouth as the primary advertising strategy, and their FB page doesn't give anything away. A few dollars nets jewels like the Christmas Mix (yep, a red-&-green chile flavored blend), Bacon Cheese (!!), Jalapeño, and more traditional fare like Kettle Corn and Cheddar. They offer group tours with tastings, and distribute across the Southwest and even into Alaska--so you know they've gotta have something tasty on their hands. Next time you need to scratch your popcorn itch, go down that little road, around the corner, and grab some treasure. I think you'll be surprised and delighted; I'm pretty sure you won't be sorry.

Love the cinnamon popcorn!! Tried different stores and online companies but never like popcorn cannery. All popcorn there is great! I'm partial to the cinnamon.

Worst customer service EVER!!! AVOID this place at all costs!! The owners son is the manager and is as worthless as they come! No help at all!! I called corporate to complain and the woman I was speaking to hung up on me. So, I will be passing the experience along to save you people that check the review, will not patronize this business!! If I had an option for no stars, I would be using it now!!!!

DISAPPOINTED The quality has gone down, but the prices have gone up. I bought this as a Valentine's gift for my love. What an embarrassment to give what tastes like a bag of something you would buy at a gas station. We used to love the buttery richness of their caramel pecan popcorn. No more. It's obvious that they're not using butter. It tastes like a box of Cracker Jack.I'll just save my money and buy a box of Fiddle Faddle at the Dollar store. I suggest you do the same.
