Everett Fisher went into business with his wife's cousin, Edmund Pusey. They opened Pixton's Popcorn on the Boardwalk at Talbot Street, named after Edmund's wife's maiden name. Everett was in charge of operating the popcorn stand from day to day. After some time, Edmund Pusey decided to leave the business, and Everett Fisher continued on making his delicious caramel popcorn under his own name, using his secret recipe. From the beginning, his son, Donald Fisher worked with him side by side, and even handled the operation of the stand while his dad was drafted into military service during WWII.
In the 1950's
Donald Fisher and his wife Calvina (above center) started their family and had 3 children, Cindy, Marty, and Don Jr (above right). The Fisher family ran the single stand on the boardwalk in Ocean City together. The store was always under the watchful eye of Donald, making sure every batch of popcorn was made just right.
In the 1980's
Marty and her husband, Bill branched out and started their own store in Fenwick Island, DE at the corner of Route 54 and Coastal Highway. They have 4 children, all of which started working in the store at a young age. Three of them continue in the business today. Together the family runs their stores in Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, independent from the original Ocean City location.
Fast forward to today...
...and we currently operate 3 stores at the Delaware beaches in Fenwick Island, Bethany Beach, & Rehoboth Beach. We're also carried in several thousand grocery stores up and down the east coast. Despite all of that we're still a small family owned and operated business.
