popcorn shop
A counter-service stand or eatery specializing in popcorn, with one preparation style or a range of flavors.
A popcorn shop is a stand or eatery where popcorn is sold at a counter. The popcorn may be sold in a single style (often raw or buttered), or in a whole variety of flavors, including caramel corn and cheese corn.
The shop can offer only one style of popcorn. A range of sweet or savory coatings is optional.
Caramel and cheese corn are included examples. The popcorn specialization distinguishes the establishment from a general snack or food counter.
