| The building housing the Chagrin
Falls Popcorn Shop was built in 1875 to be a retail
showcase for The Pride of the Falls flourmill adjoining
it. There was a water wheel driven gristmill, driven
by the Chagrin Falls and River. Somewhere around
the early 1900’s the building turned into
The Popcorn Shop serving fresh locally produced
Ice Cream, Candy, Popcorn and Gifts as it does today.
“Almost everyone I meet from Northern
Ohio has a childhood memory of the place.”
“ They remember trips to Chagrin Falls with
their Grandparents or Family grabbing some rich
Ice Cream and walking the falls and the village
of Chagrin, becoming we affectionately call “CONELICKERS”
People seem to just adore the place. That’s
why I bought it in 2001 after the great accident.
A van lost its brakes coming down the perpendicular
street leading to The Popcorn Shop in November
of 2000. The van slammed into the front of the
Popcorn Shop dislodging it from the bridge it
abuts and almost pushed the whole building into
the river. After purchasing it along with the
original owners family the McClennans, we restored
the building from the foundation up. It’s
built like Fort Knox now. “
The popular proprietarily products at the shop
are Euclid Beach Custard, Country Parlour Scooped
Ice Cream, Fresh Double Cheese Popcorn, Original
Butter & Salt, and Old Fashioned Candies.
We also feature fresh Kettle Corn, Sunny Corn
(low fat) and Golden Caramel Corn. The shop sells
much memorabilia and gifts of Chagrin Falls as
souvenirs of our fine village.
