About Us

From a small Lakewood kitchen in 1981 to a 90,000 sq ft modern facility, Golden Fluff has been popping joy for over four decades, a family-built brand with flavor, faith, and fun in every bite.

Our Popcorn Journey

In 1980, Efraim and Sarah Schwinder turned a joke into a dream. With a single popper on their kitchen table and a blessing from their rabbi they created Golden Fluff. Their first bags sold in local Lakewood stores and quickly won over snack lovers across the area.
