Swiss watches. Luxury automobiles. Private aviation. A look down the golf bags at a PGA TOUR event is a window into the finer things in life. And for one of the PGA Tour’s top golfers, Brooks Koepka, the finer things includes something delicious and a little less stuffy.

Our "why" was always you, the snacker. You deserved the best snack on the market
Back in 2016 I read an article which challenged the reader to look into starting a businesses in something that was deeply personal, regardless of how weird it was and to just run with it. Seemed smart at the time, even when the going gets rough it’s hard to throw in the towel on something you have a deep affinity for, right? For me, oddly enough that has always been popcorn. From the time I was a little girl, my Mom and I would make popcorn in her kitchen and just play— it was fun, it was our special thing. Playing with flavors, and spices was a way to explore new worlds and get creative. From the business perspective, who doesn’t want to challenge the norm and shake things up a bit. I wanted to start a company in a category that had gone a little stale, reinvent the way we ate popcorn, and bring a new level of flavor to the aisle— elevating the everyday snacking experience. Brooks was the perfect partner because in him I found a kindred spirit: someone not afraid of disrupting a field dominated by men in bow ties.”

Dear Snacker,
Over the years LA has taught us quite a few things. Authenticity is key, that a walk on the beach can fix almost anything, your ideas matter, dreams require a dose of grit, and a street food diet is totally acceptable. But the ultimate lesson is to never be afraid to reinvent yourself. So in the spirit of adventure and keeping it real, we felt that gourmet popcorn needed a facelift to meet the desires of the modern day snacker. With flavor and health in mind, we've been on a mission to bring you, the snack aficionado, the flavored popcorn you deserve. We couldn't think of a better way to share LA culture than on our favorite snack. Big flavor, big imagination. This is Havsies.
Your friends,
Havsies
