Popped with local pride

Our Premium Popcorn comes from Buckeye Family Farms — one more way we keep things close to home.

“We love working with local farmers and small businesses, it keeps us connected and gives our customers a real taste of home.”

More than a store

The name honors Charles Foster — Fostoria’s namesake, nicknamed “Calico Charlie.” Step inside and the town’s history is part of the décor: old shelving, chandeliers, a five-and-dime cart.
