I love candy stores that "take me back in time" and so of course I am of this place! Walking in you are taken back to a time of yesteryear, via the feel and ambiance of an old-time candy store. Add to that the mixing aromas of candy and popcorn and there is no escaping the love you will have for this place! The other thing this place does exceptional at is usage of space. It's not a huge store, but somehow that adds to the appeal. They also have a great mix of traditional favorites as well as up to date favorites. There is an energy in this place. One fueled by the senses as people see and smell the candy and popcorn. There memories of old awaking and memories anew in the making in every corner of the place. This place is a must when you visit the historic downtown McKinney area. It's also worth a special trip! read more

You walk I and sugar and popcorn fill the air - it's delightful! The shop is small, and it was filled with kids who couldn't wait to buy the sweet treats, and parents who you could tell remember being a kid. The cash register was ringing, and the line was long. The building is old, and they truly brought out the nostalgic feel of an old candy shop. Mom and Popcorn definitely have their niche, and it works. read more

Wanted my daughter to experience an old timey candy shop atmosphere and Mom and Pop's did not disappoint! Love that they had candy that you don't see often along with current candy as well. The shop smells absolutely amazing with the chocolates and candy along with all of their different flavors of popcorn. We ended getting pop rocks, a Toblerone, Twizzlers, and some jolly ranchers. Would love to come back and see what other candy and popcorn we can get into! read more

This is another amazing shop in downtown McKinney that is so far away from me it makes me want to cry. Because I live almost 45 mins away, I found out about this place when some coworkers brought popcorn to work. When I saw that they offer Pizza flavored popcorn I told my husband we had to IMMEDIATELY check it out - along with Funky Monkey Shaved ice (see my review for info on that place as well). Mom and Popcorn is family owned and you can tell by the amazing service you receive. The popcorn choices were more than I could have imagined so I was absolutely delighted (and astonished) when they told me I could try the popcorn before I bought a bag of it. Both people helping my husband and me were super patient because, let me tell you, we tried as many flavors as we could because we couldn't just settle on one - we walked away with 4 bags of popcorn and they were all gone in a week. They also have customized flavors they offer monthly so what you see on their menu is not what they are going to have every time you go in. This month one of the flavors was a Puppy Chow mix that my husband absolutely loved and I had to admit was very tasty, even with the peanut butter in it - I'm not the biggest fan of peanut butter. On top of the popcorn goodness, walking into the store felt like I was stepping back into my childhood (like the opening scene of the Barbie movie...lol). Inside was every single candy I could possibly imagine from necklace candy to Chuckles to cigarette gum (I know, I know). I could have stayed there for a good 30 mins just walking around but my kids didn't have the same appreciation for my nostalgia so we left after 15 mins. This is an absolute go to spot if you are in downtown McKinney and I can't wait to go back! read more

This shop always has the best selection of candies! My family likes to come and try the different sweets available. They also did a great job of making everything more covid safe by prepackaging pouches of candies so you don't have to scoop them out of the bins. You still can reach inside of the jars and pick out the pouch you want without worrying about touching the other candies, which is also great for kids so they don't touch all the individual candies, but can still go and pick the ones they want! read more

I was looking for a new popcorn place, but I did not remember that I had been here before, but that was before the pandemic. The place was just okay. Definitely had a lot of choices for popcorn flavors as well as candy as well as other items. I give the variety a five. The popcorn was just okay. Definitely needed more flavor, and it was close to being stale. I think that was the fastest I've eaten four packs of popcorn. My goal was to finish it before it got stale. read more

I am so happy to leave a positive review for Mom and Popcorn. My family and I visited from out of town and had a lovely experience. Riley was so friendly and helpful, and let us taste different types of popcorn. The popcorn was tasty, the store had both nostalgic and current treats, and the service was fantastic. Thank you so much Riley for helping us feel right at home. We had such a great time, we visited again two days later. Next time we are in town, we'll be sure to stop by. read more

Staff is friendly and I would highly recommend checking out this gem should you ever be near by! read more

I love this shop! This place has been here for years and every time I come to McKinney I stop in. Various candies, popcorn flavors, and decor are the best! The fact that it's in Downtown Mckinney is awesome! The whole setting and store take me back. It feels like being a kid in a small town Hallmark movie. (Is that red telephone booth still by that restaurant on the corner?) Great place to walk around eating my delicious, fresh popcorn. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place used to be my favorite. They had the BEST cheddar popcorn around. But sadly, new owners took over and now the popcorn is in new bags that are prepackaged looking and the corn tastes that way too. They raised the prices but lowered the quality. Will take my business to Sassy Popcorn in Allen instead. read more

This is the cutest little candy and popcorn store. They've been in downtown McKinney for several years which tells you they're doing something right. I know I can always find something unique here whether it's for a gift or I'm just curious to try something new. The popcorn is awesome! So many different flavors to choose from. Staff has always been super sweet and helpful every time I've visited. Parking is bit of a hassle, but there's a free parking garage a few blocks over, so that's very convenient. Definitely worth a visit! read more

This is a cool place. I stopped in here during the Dickens of a Christmas celebration and it was packed. This place had every type of candy known to man. Bit of Honey, Mary Jane's and candy I had never heard from were all available for bulk purchase. There was also a wall of old school metal lunch boxes (see photos) and gift tins for purchase. If your in the downtown McKinney area, do yourself a favor, and check this place out. read more

Remember the general store? I don't either, I'm not that old!! I do remember watching little house on the prairie. This is the general store that I visualize. The candies are displayed on wooden barrels. Lots of nostalgia and hard to find candies. Such as, bit o honey and Charleston chew to name a few. In a separate section candy is also displayed in plastic bins do that it can also be purchased in bulk. You can purchase jelly beans, chocolates, gummies, and hard candy. Of course, they are mostly know for their pop corn. My favorite flavors are kettle and Chicago style. Mom and pops also helps schools and organizations with their fundraising. They help the community members raise money by selling their products and giving a portion of the proceeds to the organization. read more

Welcome to your popcorn heaven!!! I love popcorn, but it's gotta be good popcorn...and Mom and Popcorn has perfected AWESOME popcorn!!! Want some candy with your popcorn? They have that too!

They've transitioned to online fundraising due to the current situation and it's PERFECT! I have people that ordered last season that asked if we're doing the fundraiser again!

Super cute store with a great selection of candy and popcorn! Friendly and helpful staff!

Every time I have a family member or a friend in town I take them to downtown McKinney and we always find ourselves going into Mom and Popcorn. My sister loves their buffalo ranch popcorn and the candy options are endless. The customer service is great and they will let you sample different popcorn options too. What we really like about their candy containers is that they have them bagged individually, so you know that people aren't just opening up the containers and grabbing candy. Plus the little bags help my daughter feel like she's getting to try different types of candy more because the portions are smaller, but in a good way! read more

After having a great breakfast and eating until i could barley breath sitting down (haha) we decided to go for a walk around down town McKinney to say we walked of the 5 baskets of chips and dip (haha) but that's a different story. We stumbled on to this popcorn and candy shop for a much needed snack (hahaha) and wow im glad we did. The shop has an old time feel and smells amazing. We sampled a couple of different flavors of popcorn and went with the salted caramel and the smores (omg yes i said smores popcorn). The prices are ok but could be a little lower but if its for an occasional treat its not too bad. read more

The flavors of the popcorn are pretty good but the value is most definitely missing the mark. Given how expensive it is, I always end up with a good 2" of crushed popcorn in the bottom of the bag, which is basically inedible. If I am going to be spending $30.00 for an "extra large" bag (which is not extra large in my book) then I expect to be able to eat all of the product and not toss out the last $5.00 of the bag. I'd rather spend the extra money, in time and gas, going to Popcorn Papa in Rockwall. Their product is superior to what I am getting from Mom and Popcorn, IMHO. read more

Such a cute and clean shop. It's small, so of course during busy times, it's hard to move around. So many candy options. Makes it fun for the kids. read more

This place is CUTE! There's really no other word for the old school candy in fake barrels and in scoop your own bins. They have probably every childhood candy you can remember, even candy cigarettes (which I didn't think they could even make anymore)!! It's basically a giant walk down memory lane regardless of your age. They also have some REALLY delicious popcorn flavors which is the main reason I go since I'm not a big sweets person. My husband always goes ga-ga for their saltwater taffy and we always leave like we've been trick-or-treating, and trust me, you will too! read more

A really cute shop trying to look like an old - fashion candy store. The variety of candy is mind-boggling: old candy, childhood favorites, hard to find, international kinds. I absolutely loved the old-time metal lunch boxes. Enough about all that. The highlight of this old-town McKinney shop is the fresh, fluffy popcorn that comes in sweet and savory varieties, and some with varying degrees of heat/hot spice. I sampled several: dill pickle, caramel, buffalo ranch, hot chihuahua (sweet caramel corn with spicy hot cayenne, jalapeño and habanero peppers). The latter was very hot. Of all I sampled my favorites were kettlecorn--buttery and light brown sugar taste; a very fine flavor. Next up in my faves was the bacon cheddar popcorn--mmmm mmm mmm! Must try, must buy! Service was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable and other customers turned me on to what flavors to try. That is actually why I tried the bacon cheddar. Great store, delicious, perfectly popped popcorn with unique flavors. read more

This review is specifically for the online ordering and not the actual store! We had a popcorn bar for our wedding, and Mom & Popcorn had the most reasonable price. Unfortunately... I made the mistake of ordering the popcorn two weeks before our wedding date in December, and when I called the company, they said during the busy months, it would take more than 2 weeks and that I should have specified that this would be for a wedding. HOWEVER... this story has a happy ending! Kim, the owner, was SO helpful and nice. She spoke with me personally on the phone multiple times in order to figure out a solution to the issue. We ended up getting our popcorn in time the day before the wedding, and we are SOO grateful for her awesome customer service. BTW, the popcorn was amazing. We ordered the butter & the caramel espresso. Our guests loved it. TIP: If you need the popcorn by a certain date, ORDER IN ADVANCE. You may also want to indicate if it is for a wedding or special event. read more

Mom and Popcorn - our popcorn bar at our wedding! - Candy Stores Near Me - McKinney, Texas

This review is more like a 3.5 star. I found out about this place a few years back when I was going to move to McKinney. My family and I stopped in and was immediately greeted and helped and offered samples and had an overall great experience. I remembered that experience and was expecting the same thing when I went this time, but it was not it. My aunt and I went in and was not immediately greeted. That is a huge pet peeve of mine, but I attempted to ignore that as I was excited about all of the old school candy. The place was not crowded and I finally got the attention of one of the employees and was ready to order my popcorn, but they were out of both flavors that I wanted. I decided to get candy instead. Overall, if you are looking to just buy what you need and don't necessarily care about the customer service than be my guest! It also could have been an off day and service may not be this way at all times... read more
