At That’s Bussin’™, Flavor Is Just the Beginning
We build snacks, treats, drinks, and wild little flavor ideas with personality — but behind all of that is a bigger vision: creating a brand that feeds people and creates opportunities.
We started in Memphis, in a home kitchen full of popcorn experiments, sticky notes, and late-night work. Kernelz™ Gourmet Popcorn became our first proof of concept. People tasted it, felt the energy, and kept coming back. That’s when we realized this could be bigger than a snack line. This could be a movement.
We call our world the Bussin’™ Universe — one brand with many future flavor lines, all with their own personalities.
What We Stand For
This is the heart of our brand — what guides every product, every project, and every future plan.
Community First, Always
We believe great businesses should uplift the people they serve. Our long-term vision includes creating jobs and training in underserved and minority communities, and building safe, supportive workplaces where women and marginalized groups can thrive.
We want our brand to be a place where people can be human — not boxed in by rigid rules, outdated policies, or environments that don’t see their value.
Growing With Intention
As we expand, our goal is to open multiple warehouses and production centers across the country — especially in areas that need opportunity the most. From packaging to tech roles to creative work, we want to build an ecosystem where people can develop skills that help them build their futures.
Empowering the Next Generation
With a tech background at our foundation, we plan to launch youth tech programs that help kids and young adults explore STEM, creativity, and how to navigate a world reshaped by AI.
These programs aren’t live yet — but they’re part of the mission we’re actively building toward.
Flavor With Culture
We don’t do bland. Every flavor we create honors the food, memories, and stories we grew up with — Southern kitchens, neighborhood favorites, brunch plates, celebrations, and everyday joys.
Joy, Fun, and Expression
We believe snacks should feel like energy. Colorful. Extra. Playful. We’re here to make food fun again.
Openness & Collaboration
We’re open to partnering with people and organizations who believe in community outreach, youth programs, food drives, and empowerment initiatives. Even before our programs launch, we support where we can — sharing food, donating popcorn, and staying connected to the communities around us.
Kēsh Monique
Creator of That’s Bussin’™ & Kernelz™
That’s Bussin’™ was created by Kēsh Monique — a tech professional, creative, mom, innovator, and certified “I’ll-do-it-myself” type of woman who believes flavor should be fun and opportunities should be accessible.
Before popcorn ever hit a bag, Kēsh spent years building solutions in tech, supporting teams, creating systems, and helping people use technology to grow. When she stepped into entrepreneurship, she brought all of that skill, vision, and heart with her.
Kernelz™ Gourmet Popcorn started in her kitchen — a late-night experiment that grew into a full brand, a bigger mission, and eventually the foundation for the entire That’s Bussin’™ universe.
Kēsh isn’t just building a snack line. She’s building a space where creativity is celebrated, community matters, women feel safe and supported, and people from overlooked or underserved backgrounds can gain real skills.
Her long-term goal is to build facilities across the country that provide jobs, training, mentorship, youth tech programs, and pathways for people who want more for themselves.
Every flavor, every product line, every part of the Bussin’™ Universe is an extension of the same belief: We deserve joy, opportunity, flavor, and a safe place to grow.
Kernelz™ Gourmet Popcorn
Kernelz™ is our flagship gourmet popcorn line, active and evolving. Kernelz™ is the first stop in the Bussin’™ Universe, and the line that’s currently available to order.
As we grow, we plan to expand into new worlds inside the Bussin’™ Flavor Universe:
- 🍬 Sweetz™ – candy and dessert treats
- 🍟 Chipz™ – bold, Bussin’-style chips
- 🍰 Cakez™, Cookiez™, Muffinz™, Piez™, Breadz™ – baked favorites
- 🥤 Creamz™, Floatz™, Shakez™, Smoothiez™ – frozen sweets
- 🍹 SIPZ™, LEMONZ™, COCKTAILZ™, SPIRITZ™ – drinks and mixers
- ⚡ Fuelz™ – functional and wellness-focused flavor ideas
Right now, only Kernelz™ is live. The rest of the Bussin’™ Universe is in development as we grow.
Where We’re Heading Next
Kernelz™ Gourmet Popcorn
Our active, thriving flagship line — the flavor lab that started everything.
We’re constantly experimenting with new flavors inspired by the culture,
the seasons, and whatever mood hits in the kitchen.
The Bussin’ Bus™ (In Development)
The Bussin’ Bus™ is our future mobile flagship: a pop-up store, a content studio,
a community event hub, and a place to sample new flavors before they ever hit the site.
We are currently fundraising to bring it to life — building out the design, upgrades, equipment, and the full Bussin’™ experience. It will take time, but it’s coming.
Funny enough, there was a bus in our story once before — but the vision wasn’t fully formed yet. Now it has direction, purpose, and a whole community behind it.
Join the Bussin’™ Universe
If you’re here for a delicious snack, welcome.
If you’re here because you believe in building something bigger than popcorn, welcome even more.
Grab a bag of Kernelz™ and join the ride. We’re building something special, and we’re just getting started.
