PEORIA ( 25News Now ) - Young’s Popcorn Heaven, a small business that sells flavored popcorn made locally in Peoria, is celebrating 10 years in business.

The small business has overcome obstacles from inflation to the pandemic. The owners’ advice for other small business owners who are looking to mark a decade in business is to sell great product, pray a lot, and have a good mentor.

“We were blessed that we had a person that we could rely on when we first got started, that we could call and talk to and give us pointers and tell us what we were doing wrong and what we were doing right,” said Gregory Young, who owns Young’s Popcorn Heaven with his wife Joann.

To celebrate, they held a party Saturday at the West Lake Avenue location.
