FRom Humble Beginnings
The Southern Kettle Co. began when a family-owned popcorn shop Kaneisha loved to visit on her trips to Atlanta quickly and unceremoniously closed down. In an effort to maintain her fix (Dotson’s go-to flavor being Caramel), she and the team experimented with their own concoctions, aiming to maintain a simple, clean ingredient list.
The Corn Crib, a historic spot in Gallatin Square with its own storybook-worthy past, has also been recently brought back to life thanks to Southern Kettle. Only serving as a photo-op, a home to countless memories, and at one time, a hub for connectivity (housing equipment for the downtown area’s WiFi), this space again is a place for…POPCORN!
Together with Desiree, the torch has been re-lit and we’ve taken a cool piece of yesteryear and made it our own thing. Southern Kettle’s goal to create unique and creative flavors that reflect the love and joy of sharing with the community has had an immesurable impact. Our combinations of family favorites and customer suggestions give life to a collection of flavors that continue to surprise and delight.
