Lindsey’s Legacy
Live Bold. Dream Big. Pop On.
If there’s anything we’ve learned here at Poptique Popcorn, it’s that dreams do come true. And no one embodied that belief more than our late founder, Lindsey Hively.
Live Bold For Lindsey
Though Lindsey passed away in April 2015, her legacy lives on in every kernel popped, every new product launched, and every bold step we take forward. Her entrepreneurial spirit is baked into the DNA of Poptique. From the walls of our shops to the people we serve, Lindsey’s vibrant energy continues to make its mark.
Today, Poptique Popcorn proudly carries Lindsey’s legacy forward. We celebrate her not just during Indiana Entrepreneurship Week, but every day—by continuing to grow her dream, support our community, and remind everyone who walks through our doors to Live Bold.
This page will serve as an ongoing tribute to Lindsey: a place where we’ll share stories, old news features, and cherished memories that honor her life, her leadership, and her incredible journey.
Because dreams don’t end, they evolve. And thanks to Lindsey, we’re just getting started.
