Deanan Gourmet Popcorn, a family-owned and 80% woman-owned business, has been providing top-quality popcorn products since 1979. Founded by Dean and Nanella Alexander in South Texas, the company started as a humble popcorn shop and has since evolved into a trusted partner for both high-volume production and co-packing services. With a rich legacy rooted in fundraising, Deanan continues to expand its services to meet the needs of businesses nationwide while maintaining a commitment to excellence and customer care.
Located in Wylie, Texas, in a state-of-the-art 23,000-square-foot facility, Deanan offers a strategic hub to serve clients on both the East and West Coasts. Specializing in both fundraising and custom co-packing solutions, we utilize cutting-edge machinery to ensure precision, speed, and minimal downtime. Our contingency strategy—featuring multiple units of every major piece of equipment—ensures smooth operations even during peak production.
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We source only the finest ingredients to create our gourmet popcorn and employ rigorous food safety standards, including regular allergen testing, machinery calibrations, and third-party product sample testing. Our facility holds both GMP and SQF certifications, underscoring our dedication to maintaining the highest production standards.
At Deanan, we’re more than just a co-packer—we’re a true partner in your success. From the initial design concept to the finished product, our team works closely with you, offering hands-on support every step of the way. We coach you through the process, help source ingredients and packaging materials, develop nutritional panels, and address other crucial aspects you may not have considered, ensuring a smooth process and a final result that perfectly aligns with your vision
Now led by the third generation, Deanan continues to thrive under CEO Tref Hodge’s leadership, expanding its co-packing and private label services.
