About Cactus Corn — Arizona's Best Kettle Corn Since 1998

Cactus Corn was founded in 1998 by Mike and Sharon Levandowski in Phoenix, Arizona. What started as a passion for fresh, handcrafted kettle corn has grown into one of Arizona's most recognized gourmet popcorn companies — still family-owned and operated more than 25 years later.

Our Story

From the beginning, the Levandowski family built Cactus Corn on a simple principle: make the best popcorn possible, every single time. That commitment has earned long-term relationships with some of Arizona's most beloved institutions. Cactus Corn has been a vendor at Chase Field for the Arizona Diamondbacks since the ballpark opened in 1998. We supply Footprint Center, the Phoenix Zoo, and the Arizona Science Center. We have served thousands of corporate events, weddings, festivals, and community gatherings across the Phoenix Metro and beyond.

What We Make

Cactus Corn specializes in small-batch kettle corn and gourmet popcorn made fresh with real ingredients. Our flavor lineup reflects the character of the Southwest: original kettle corn, prickly pear craft kettle corn (made with the fruit of Arizona's iconic Opuntia cactus), roasted street corn with cotija, chipotle cheddar, sweet butter caramel, Sonoran caramel, and more. Every batch is made fresh — no artificial flavoring, no sitting in warehouses.

Who We Serve

We serve customers across Arizona and ship nationwide. Our clients include corporate event planners in Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert; wedding coordinators at desert resorts; school fundraiser organizers; sports fans at Chase Field and Footprint Center; and individuals who want to send an authentic Arizona gift to friends and family across the country. We offer custom branded bags for corporate gifting, bulk ordering for events, and a full online shop.

Our Presence in Arizona

Since 1998, Cactus Corn has been part of Arizona's food culture. We have been at Chase Field (home of the Arizona Diamondbacks), Footprint Center (home of the Phoenix Suns), the Phoenix Zoo, the Arizona Science Center, and events throughout the Phoenix Metro including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. We also travel to Tucson for catering. Our popcorn truck and concession operations have served hundreds of thousands of Arizona residents over more than two decades.
