Our story
A family-owned popcorn shop in Kennewick
Spicy Delight Popcorn is a family-owned popcorn shop in Kennewick, run by Lucia and Dan Villa. It started in September 2023 with one idea: make something different for the Tri-Cities, something sweet and spicy.
How it started
Sweet, salty, and then the heat
We wanted to create something new, so, we started brainstorming. We finally decided to try making something sweet and spicy. What sweet foods are out there that we can add some spice to? We decided on kettle corn. We got some of Rudy’s pepper blends and started our tests. We made small batches and handed it to friends and family. It was a hit, so we moved forward.

The first test batches
We tried sweet kettle corn with Rudy's pepper blends and handed small batches to family and friends. It was a hit, so we kept going.

Kettle corn at local events
We take the kettle to events too: a tent, red Kettle Corn flags and fresh batches, like our spot by the Gesa Carousel of Dreams in Kennewick.

About our popcorn
More than a snack
We believe popcorn should be a treat you crave. That is why we make every batch by hand, and why our heat comes from Rudy's Pepperblends, a Kennewick grower who dries his own Tri-City peppers.
Our kettle corn goes from classic Caramel with sea salt to bold creations like Caramel Jalapeño, Little Creeper and Assassin. Each bag is the balance we chase: sweet, salty and spicy, popped fresh and sealed in.
