The Popcorn Shoppe closes Northwoods Mall location
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — An experiment to test out a new location didn't turn out as planned for a Central Peoria business.
The Popcorn Shoppe announced they would close their Northwoods Mall location on their Facebook page.
'The Northwoods Mall kiosk location was an experiment to see how popcorn at the mall would sell. We opened in October 2024 and gave it three months last year and five months so far this year, and overall, the mall was not a successful endeavor,' the company said in the post.
As such, the Metro Center-based company said they have shuttered operations at the mall and by the end of the month, their space will be empty.
They will maintain the Metro Center store but with different hours. Instead of being open for a few hours on Sunday and closed on Monday, they are now closed on Sunday and open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. They are open an hour later on Friday and Saturday.
