Lower West Side native Stefan Coker has started a brick-and-mortar
business, What's Pop-in' Gourmet Popcorn, 418 W Ferry St. Coker, right, and
co-owner David Whelan, left, opened the store on Nov. 2. “It’s super important
to be here. My children go to school in Starpoint. It’s important to me that my
kids see all demographics,” Coker said. What's Pop-in' Gourmet
Popcorn boasts unique favors including Cajun ranch, beef-on-weck and apple
pie. Coker and Whelan are getting set to debut their holiday flavors: gingerbread,
eggnog, lemon blueberry and Claus crunch, which is a mix of Chex Mix, pretzels
and M&M’s. They will also be revealing a new flavor on their Instagram page
in the coming weeks. By Francis Boeck
