Top SchoolKirsten Bender is an entrepreneurial business owner with 12 years of experience building and scaling a regional specialty food brand, The Popcorner, which she launched with her father in 2014.

Skilled in product development, retail operations, and customer experience, she produces over 15 gourmet popcorn flavors plus fudge and nostalgic treats.

Based in Wichita, Kansas, Kirsten combines hometown roots with a flair for creative, experiential retailing that turns an old trolley into a mobile brand platform.
