LGI Kitchen Innovations | Cretors Kettle Corn and Popcorn Production

Why Cretors

The original. Still the standard.

Charles Cretors built the first commercial popcorn machine in 1885. 140 years later, Cretors still sets the standard. We sell them because they are built right and they do not break.

The original Since 1885

C. Cretors and Company was established in 1885 with the invention of the first large-scale commercial popcorn machine. Still family-owned, still made in the United States.

Built for the backroom Production grade

Designed to meet the rigorous demands of commercial settings, with robust construction and streamlined design. Whether in bustling movie theaters or vibrant stadiums, these tables serve as the cornerstone of backroom popcorn production.

Kettle-flexible Electric or gas

Compatible with both electric and gas Cretors pedestal kettles. Mount the kettle onto the table to create a popcorn prep and serving station. Holds either a popper or a caramelizer for ultimate versatility.

High-volume ready 1,200 servings / hr

Includes a 50-pound corn bin for the storage you need during peak service. Mount a 60 oz electric pedestal kettle and produce up to 1,200 one-ounce servings per hour.

Mobile when you need it Casters, 2 locking

Mounted on casters, two of them locking, for versatility and easy transportation. Move it for cleaning, service, or seasonal repositioning.

Margin per square foot High margin

Popcorn is one of the highest-margin concession items in foodservice. The GKS-X with the right kettle prints money in the right venue.

Building the Station

What you're actually buying.

The GKS-X is the production base. It is the platform you build your popping station on.

The production table is the platform you build your popping station on. You spec it in four steps:

1
Pick your table size
Start with the 70-inch production table as your base. It is the stainless platform the rest of the station mounts onto, sized to the counter space your venue gives you.
2
Choose your volume
Add a Cretors pedestal kettle sized to how much you pop. The 32 oz, 48 oz, and 60 oz are the most common pairings, with the 60 oz reaching up to 1,200 servings an hour.
3
Gas or electric
Cretors pedestal kettles come in both electric and gas. Pick the one that matches your venue's utilities and where the station lives.
4
Optional: caramelizer or Double Feature attachment
Add a CMD25 or CMD50 caramelizer for candy and caramel coated product, or a Double Feature attachment for expanded menu capability.

We will spec the right combination based on your venue volume and product mix.
