Caramel Popcorn Socks
Description: Karmelkorn was an American popcorn retailer founded in 1928 in Casper, Wyoming, by Mr. and Mrs. William O'Sullivan. The O'Sullivans patented their candy-coated popcorn in 1929, and initially, licensed the product to existing confectioneries before creating a chain of franchised Karmelkorn stores. Within four years, the O'Sullivans had 535 stores licensed to sell its product in North America, including candy stores and peanut/popcorn stands. Under new owners n the '60s, it began operating as Karmelkorn Shoppes, and dropped its licensing program and, instead, franchised the new Shoppe storefronts which were popular in suburban shopping malls. In the early '80s, the chain had 270 stand-alone shops in 43 states, and continued to grow.
