Meet Jerica, Owner of Fiesta Pop
I'm Jerica, the founder and "Chief of Popperations" behind Fiesta Pop!
I'm a San Antonio, Texas native and graduated from UTSA with a degree in education. After teaching for a very short time, I had to admit, teaching was not for me. I knew I was happiest when being creative and I kept thinking "what if I start my own business and did something I love?" I just had to figure out "what" that business would be.
One night, while binge-watching a show with a bowl of popcorn, I had an epiphany. "Popcorn! What if I start a popcorn business?!" I had grown up making it on the stovetop with lots of butter, salt, and mixing in different toppings depending on my cravings. I had always seen popcorn as this perfect little blank canvas that could become almost any flavor.
I decided to start tinkering with recipes of savory and sweet popcorn flavors. My husband would be my eager taste-tester and give me feedback and honest reviews. And I would go back to work if the recipe needed some tweaking. For instance, it was about 18 recipe variations before I perfected my Caramel Sea Salt batch!
What would make my popcorn stand out from the rest, was I had a passion for quality and deliciousness. I set out to revolutionize popcorn. No more artificial flavors or funky colors here! Just wholesome, fresh ingredients and a whole lot of love poured into every batch.
From humble beginnings of late-night recipe tinkering, to the joyous moment I launched my business, every kernel tells a story of dedication and a love of delicious popcorn.
At Fiesta Pop, I believe that snacking should be an exciting experience. Whether you’re crunching through movie marathons, snacking at work, or gifting to family & friends, Fiesta Pop has a flavor for every craving and occasion.
Explore our handcrafted flavors, discover your new favorites, and indulge in incredible popcorn that’s bursting with the personality and flavor of South Texas.
From my heart to your hands, welcome to the crunchy, flavorful world of Fiesta Pop.
