The Sweet Success Story of Colette's Popcorn at Barefoot Landing

There's something magical that happens when the aroma of freshly popped kernels wafts through the open-air pathways of Barefoot Landing. As visitors stroll along the Intracoastal Waterway, shopping bags in hand, they're inevitably drawn to the colorful storefront that houses one of North Myrtle Beach's most beloved treats: Colette's Popcorn.

A Popcorn Paradise in Paradise

Nestled among the charming shops and restaurants of Barefoot Landing, Colette's Popcorn has become more than just another snack stop—it's a destination in itself. Our location couldn't be more perfect: situated in the heart of one of South Carolina's premier shopping and entertainment complexes, we welcome a delightful mix of vacationing families, local popcorn enthusiasts, and curious passersby seeking a unique taste experience.

The decision to establish Colette's at Barefoot Landing was deliberate. This vibrant complex, with its picturesque lake, abundant wildlife, and year-round events, provides the ideal backdrop for our gourmet popcorn adventure. As shoppers explore the diverse boutiques or families head to nearby attractions like Alabama Theatre or Alligator Adventure, our storefront serves as the perfect pit stop for a handcrafted treat.

More Than Just Popcorn: A Flavor Experience

What sets Colette's apart in the bustling Barefoot Landing scene is our unwavering commitment to creating extraordinary flavor experiences. While traditional buttery popcorn will always have its place in our hearts (and our store), our signature creations have become legendary among Grand Strand visitors.

Our Carolina Collection pays homage to local flavors, featuring varieties like Charleston Sea Salt Caramel, Myrtle Beach Barbecue, and Lowcountry Boil—a savory blend that perfectly captures the essence of traditional Carolinian seafood boils. These regional specialties have become popular souvenirs, allowing visitors to take a taste of South Carolina back home.

For those with a sweet tooth, our Rainbow Row collection (named after Charleston's famous colorful historic homes) offers a visual and flavorful feast. With vibrant hues and flavors ranging from Carolina Peach to Blueberry Cheesecake, these treats are as Instagram-worthy as they are delicious.

Seasonal Magic at Barefoot Landing

One of the joys of operating at Barefoot Landing is embracing the changing seasons alongside this dynamic community. Summer brings a flood of tourists seeking cool, refreshing treats like our Watermelon Splash and Lemonade popcorn varieties. As fall arrives, we transition to comfort flavors like Southern Pecan Pie and Sweet Potato Casserole.

The holiday season is particularly magical at Colette's. As Barefoot Landing transforms with twinkling lights and festive decorations, our store follows suit with limited-edition flavors and gift packages. Our Holiday Tin Collection, featuring specialties like Peppermint Bark and Eggnog popcorn in beautifully designed souvenir containers, has become a cherished tradition for many families who visit Barefoot Landing's Christmas celebrations year after year.

Creating Memories, One Kernel at a Time

Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of our Barefoot Landing location is witnessing the joy our popcorn brings to visitors. There's something special about watching a family share a bag of colorful popcorn as they sit by the lake, feeding the turtles and enjoying the simple pleasure of being together.

We've become part of countless vacation memories—the special treat after a child's first time seeing an alligator up close, the sweet reward after finding the perfect souvenir, or the tasty accompaniment to an evening of live music at the amphitheater. These moments of connection are what make our position at Barefoot Landing so meaningful.

Community Beyond Tourism

While summer tourists certainly keep our popcorn poppers busy, Colette's has also established deep roots in the local North Myrtle Beach community. Our partnerships with nearby schools for fundraising initiatives, special discounts for local residents during the off-season, and participation in Barefoot Landing's community events have helped us become more than just a tourist attraction.

During quieter months, our cozy shop becomes a gathering place for locals, who stop in for their favorite flavors and friendly conversation. We've hosted popcorn pairing events with local breweries, created custom mixes for Grand Strand weddings, and supplied branded popcorn for corporate events at nearby conference centers.

Looking Forward: Growing with Barefoot Landing

As Barefoot Landing continues to evolve and grow, so does Colette's Popcorn. The recent additions to the complex, including new entertainment venues and restaurants, have brought fresh energy and visitors to our doorstep. We're constantly innovating—developing new flavor combinations, creating sustainable packaging options, and finding ways to enhance the customer experience.

Whether you're a first-time visitor to Barefoot Landing or a longtime local, we invite you to stop by Colette's Popcorn on your next visit. Sample our latest creation, watch our popcorn artisans at work, or simply follow your nose to our door. In the heart of one of South Carolina's most beloved destinations, we're popping up happiness, one kernel at a time.
