Popcorn Express opened for business in 1999 by owner Charles "Chuck" Izumoto. He started off popping on weekends at the Niu Valley Shopping Center where he had a steady following of loyal customers. He innovated the idea of coloring kettle corn which became an instant hit! Valentines, Easter, Halloween and Christmas had their own custom colored popcorn.

The company continues today under owner Duane Tanaka, long time neighbor to Chuck. Duane continues with Chuck's recipe and cooking style that results with the same delicious kettle corn people enjoyed over the years.
