The Chagrin Falls Popcorn Shop was built in 1875 originally as a flour mill powered by the Chagrin Falls River. It became a popcorn shop in the 1940s selling locally produced ice cream, popcorn, and candies. Located in downtown Chagrin Falls, Ohio, the Popcorn Shop was visited by President George W. Bush and his family in 2004 and nearly burned down in 2000 after a vehicle crashed into it. The shop continues to serve ice cream, popcorn, lollipops, and other treats today.
