In this Sidewalk Talks episode, we chat with Kaylyn and Alesha outside Kakes the Great Popcorn Co. at 418 Court Street, covering their nationally recognized popcorn and kettle corn, lemonades, crafted teas, croffles (croissant + waffle), chow bowls (build-your-own popcorn mix), candy, toys, and scratch-made pound cakes. They share everything from how the business started six years ago to their dynamic as both mother-daughter and business partners.
