Who Makes Kirkland Popcorn?
At this time, we don’t know who makes Kirkland popcorn. Surprisingly, Kirkland Signature doesn’t have a warehouse where its products are made. Instead, the company reaches out to other well-known brands to obtain products to sell under its own name, which makes it difficult to determine who produces the products for Kirkland.
Which Company Makes Kirkland Signature Popcorn?
Currently, we can’t be 100% certain which company makes Kirkland Signature Popcorn.
Kirkland Signature, Costco, and the manufacturer in question have not yet released this information.
The Kirkland Signature brand, Costco’s private label brand, doesn’t have its own warehouse where its products are manufactured and distributed.
Instead, Kirkland Signature outsources from other well-known companies and brands to obtain the products it has to sell.
Fortunately, in most cases, the products end up being very high-quality through this method.
Kirkland Signature then protects the identity of the product’s makers so both parties do not lose out on sales.
The brand also tries to avoid having high prices on its products, which can be difficult if there is more competition.
Where Is Kirkland Signature Popcorn Made?
According to Costco.com, Kirkland Signature Popcorn is a product of the United States.
Costco’s headquarters are in Washington state, but its products are made in different warehouses across the United States.
Kirkland Signature popcorn is likely made in the same warehouse as another well-known microwave popcorn brand.
As mentioned, Costco partners with many big companies to produce items under the Kirkland Signature label.

Where Can You Buy Kirkland Signature Popcorn?
Kirkland Signature Popcorn can be easily purchased at your local Costco Wholesale store.
However, if you don’t live close to a Costco or simply don’t feel like leaving the comfort of your home, you can always order online from Costco.com.
You can even order most Kirkland Signature products from third-party sellers online, such as Amazon.com and Instacart.com.
An added perk of ordering online is that you don’t need a Costco membership, even if you choose to order directly from Costco’s website.
However, it’s important to note that you will be charged an extra 5% on your order if you’re not a Costco member ordering from Costco.com.
If you order from a third-party website, you won’t have to worry about this surcharge, although the prices may fluctuate and be higher than usual.
