About Pop Lab Popcorn

About Us

Our Founder

Owner Kate Anderson-Firth is obsessed with popcorn. Like, REALLY obsessed. Originally  from Dallas, Texas, Kate brings her love affair for the much beloved American snack to Australia in a way you’ve never seen before. 

Prior to moving to Australia, Kate was a professional steel sculptor creating public artworks and working in the fine art world. Making her no stranger to large hot machinery! In the pursuit of bringing her popcorn passion to Australia, Kate trained in the United States with one of the Godfather’s of gourmet popcorn. Pop Lab Popcorn now stands at the forefront of popcorn innovation, blending art and science to create delightful, unexpected, and delicious popcorn experiences that tantalise taste buds with each new flavour concoction. You can catch her making the candies, caramels, savouries and chocolates for her popcorns in our shop in Fairfield. Come in and say howdy!

We are most proud of our 100% home compostable bags and labels for all four popcorn bag sizes (Snack to Texas size!). We think that’s rad.
