MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - A new business in Meridian Township celebrated their grand opening on July 23rd.

The opening of Cravings Gourmet Popcorn in Okemos attracted many people and founder Chad Jordan said he loves the support he is receiving from the community.

"It seems like everyone is loving it so far," Jordan said.

The store officially opened at the end of May and has since been very successful.

The new store includes a production stage, so customers can catch a glimpse of what happens behind the scenes.

"What we wanted to achieve was that customers could walk in and see and smell the popcorn being made," Jordan said. "It's a lot of transparency so that they can kind of understand the popcorn is made here. It's not made in some factory, this is hometown popcorn."

Cravings offers many different popcorn flavors including the fan favorite, Chicago Style.

The store is located at 1875 W Grand River in the same plaza as Dusty's Cellar.
