Q&A
801-886-0464
Q: How long have you been in the theatre business?
A: Great Western’s roots go way back to the early 1960’s when we were
first known as Word Popcorn. Right around 1990 we formed Great Western
to separate local deliveries, which continued as Word Popcorn later to
become Movie Foods, from work with national distributors such as CCSI,
Vistar, Sysco, US Foods, DOT Foods and so on.
Q: How is your company different from other companies?
A: Great Western is not just a distributor but a manufacture of concession
products. While we are also known as a Master Distributor for a number of
concession products we control every aspect of our products like popcorn,
oils, seasonings, snow cone syrup, floss sugar and so on. We work with
seed companies on the varieties of popcorn we grow, we work closely with
the farmer on the crops, and we process the popcorn after harvest. This
same level of detail is applied to all of our products.
Q: What exhibitors do you work with and for how long have you worked
with them?
A: Great Western is a very diverse compan y with many different product
that we manufacture. When you consider this diversity, food items and
non-food items, it is easy to see why we enjoy relationships with many of
the exhibitors across the country and world. Some of our exhibitors have
been part of the Great Western Family for decades while others have been
part for a shorter period of time. All are important to us.
