I love the old vintage signs, even better when they’re neon signs. I love to look into the story they tell.
Located at 960 E 2100 S in Salt Lake City, Nu-Crisp Popcorn Co. was established in 1933 and started this location in 1946. The best I can tell it closed in 1994 so I’m surprised it is still sitting here undisturbed in 2020.
They sold 33 flavors of popcorn and a lot of taffy and candy.
I worked here when I was 16 with Earlene and Steven . Pulling taffy n putting out fires from the old popcorn machine. We were robbed one night by a guy with a butter knife n we just laughed at him but we’re told by the cops we shouldn’t have laughed but we were young n dumb. Best chocolate ever n we had cold Tab if any remember s that soda .
