What's in the name: Owners Randy and Tracey Harmon, who are husband and wife, opened the downtown Tomball Craving Kernels location in 2018, where the team makes the popcorn they sell. Popular popcorn flavors out of their over 80 different options include Extra Buttery, Cheddar and Zebra Drizzle.

General Manager Julie Carranza said they ship their popcorn all over the country, and even have regular costumers that drive in from Dallas. Along with their popcorn and tins, Craving Kernels sells:

• Homemade fudge and cookies

• Silly sodas

• Malt milkshakes

• Hershey's ice cream

• Assortments of candies

What's new: Tracey said the new Craving Kernels location will sell the same goodies as the original, but will have more seating options for guests to enjoy their treats. They also plan to have a grand opening celebration once they have an official opening date.
