This is about more
than gourmet popcorn.

Tessy’s Popcorn Delights is about the passion my family, the Eslinger Family, has for the movie industry we have known and loved for nearly 50 years
Our family has been the proud owner/operator of the Stanley Theater operating as a service of pride for the local community where popcorn is our pride.
But now, we are taking that pride and pushing it farther with flavored, healthy and gourmet popcorn snacks!

Meet TESSY

Theresa Eslinger Pries

Hi, I’m Theresa Eslinger Pries, founder of the delicious flavored gourmet popcorn that has folks buzzing up here in the Northwoods of Wisconsin.

I am the youngest of six children representing the legacy of the Stanley Theater. My mother Cecilia bought the theater in 1968, and we grew up farmers by day and theater owners by night.
 In these glory days, my late father, Daniel, "Mussy" Eslinger fondly gave me the pet name of "Tessy."  When it came to name the popcorn, Tessy's Popcorn Delights was the creation of my love for popcorn and a testament to my late father.

My fondest childhood memories include the sounds of movies rolling on the big screen, popcorn popping in the concession stand, and the laughter and voices of family and friends gathering to watch a movie. It is these memories that got my creative juices flowing. How could I bring my love of healthy gourmet popcorn to the masses? Easy!

Start trying flavors on popcorn and seeing what worked and what didn’t to create the best gourmet popcorn around!

I use only the freshest and local ingredients to serve you the most delicious gourmet popcorn snacks. My standards are high because I want you to enjoy the perfect gourmet popcorn you have been enjoying for years and keep you coming back for more.
