Popcorn Maker

Hi we are looking at investing in a popcorn maker for our school PTA.

This is the one we are considering..

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of these machines, where you bought it from, where you get the maize / boxes / toppings etc.

Thanks

We have one of these machines for our local Gala Day fundraising - it is a fantastic money earner. We sell the boxes supplied for 50p or 60p and sometimes sell a small paper cup for 20p -we always have a big queue. You do need access to electricity, so may also have to invest in a small generator -we beg or borrow one.
Our machine was bought for us by the Rotary Club -they use it for events when we don't need it and we lend it out to other local charities -you could hire it and get another income that way.
Don't know where they bought it, but they paid around the same price. The corn lasts for ages. We have recently bought some more -someone got it from an agricultural supplier. It will last for years. You can also buy it very cheaply in health food stores.YOu also need oil, but again you only need to use a little.

I would recommend it
