The Unique Shop In Missouri That Serves The Most Incredible Gourmet Popcorn
Usually, popcorn is a snack that we reserve for the movie theater or a sporting event. However, many sweet treat makers are seeing an opportunity to spruce up those popped kernels with some delicious flavors. One of those places is Funky Monkey Corn Company in Gladstone, Missouri.

In addition to the Funkey Monkey decor indoors, you also may come across someone dressed in an ape suit outside or in the store on certain days.
The one-of-kind tour takes visitors all over the shop to try out each flavor.
Throughout the year, Funky Monkey updates their menu to feature seasonal flavors. Some of the more popular staple flavors include Wedding Cake, Monkey Bark and Funky Cheddar.
You won't find preservatives or high fructose corn syrup here. Every single batch is made with locally farmed non-GMO corn, 100% real butter, 100% real cheese and pure cane sugar.
Funky Monkey loves to support local artists in the greater Kansas City area. They even host a young artist's show to showcase the area's budding talent!
