The Gourmet Kernel Brings Popistas and Oh Sweet Cheezus to Algonquin Commons
Algoquin, IL – While commuting to Chicago when she worked in the technology field, Judy Reyes says she had a lot of time to dream. Two weeks ago, her dream of opening a gourmet popcorn store has come true.
Reyes’ store, the Gourmet Kernel, located at 1724 S. Randall Road in the Algonquin Commons, is popping “Caramelt Apple” as its Flavor of the Month.
“I liked a popcorn shop in Geneva, and I watched it grow,” said Reyes, who lives in Carol Stream. “I thought it sure seemed like the ultimate semi-retirement business.”
