Episode Details

Two lifelong friends turned popcorn moguls, Jonathan Warren and Michael Barnett, built Market Square Popcorn from a tiny Market Street stall into a citywide sensation—with flavors like “Sweet Heat” that’ve got crowds cheering. From high school buddies to Indiana’s go-to gourmet popcorn crew, they’re minority- and veteran-owned, locally sourced, and proudly blue-and-gold Pacers fans. You’ll find them at festivals, IU games, and even TJ Maxx shelves soon. They’re not just selling popcorn—they’re giving back, proving small businesses can scale big, and that the best partnerships are the ones forged in childhood.
