Angie Bastian
Angie’s Boomchickapop®
Angie Bastian, co-founder and namesake of Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP, took a kernel of an idea and popped it into one of the fastest growing brands of natural popcorn. It started in 2001 when Angie and her husband Dan bought a kettle online and began popping kettle corn at local markets, events, and in their garage. What began as a college fund nest egg and a way to teach their children the value and integrity of work has grown into a business that employs over 200 people.
Angie’s BOOCHICKAPOP has twice won Star Tribune’s Top Workplaces honor. Dan and Angie are recipients of the 2015 ACG BOLD Award for corporate growth and they shared Connect Business Magazine’s 2012 Person of the Year award.
