"You can never have enough popcorn," laughs Peter Suter.

He ought to know. He's supplied Bluffton popcorn eaters with the stuff for 20 years while in the Bluffton movie theatre business.

If you have a taste for popcorn, this is your lucky time of life. The Bluffton popcorn flavor choices just expanded eight-fold.

In September, DRC Holdings, Inc., operated by Peter and his wife, Kim, launched a new venture: Shirley's Gourmet Popcorn Company at 117 S. Main St., Bluffton. The shop is part of the Shannon Theatre building, also owned by DRC Holdings.
