Specialty Snack Shop Coming To The Village At Newtown

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — A new specialty snack food store based in Bucks County will soon be popping up at the Village at Newtown.

Clusters Handcrafted Popcorn, which has stores in New Hope and at Peddler’s Village in Lahaska, will soon be bringing its unique sweet and savory popcorn creations to Newtown.

The popcorn store is taking over the former location of Bobby Chez Gourmet To Go, which closed its doors in 2025. Look for the new store to open in the near future between Trinity Rehab and Naked Chocolate.

Popped fresh on the premises, some of its sweet creations include Caramel Corn, Cinnamon Toast, Cookie Explosion, Peanut Butter Blast, Peanut Lovers, Pumpkin Crisp, Sweet Habanero, and Toasted Coconut.

Some of its savory options include Buffalo Blue, Cheesy Doodle, Chipotle White Cheddar, Garlic Parmesan, Just Like A Pickle, Loaded Baked Potato and White Cheddar.

In 2021, Bucks County natives Linda and Jules Sghiatti opened the first Clusters in their hometown of New Hope.

When Linda wanted to get a part-time job, Jules encouraged her “to do her own thing.”

After attending the Friday Night Fireworks on the Delaware River in New Hope one evening in 2010, they realized that New Hope didn’t have any quick snack stops other than ice cream. They thought about how much they love the caramel corn from the boardwalk at the Jersey Shore and that’s how the idea of Clusters was born.

After some research and planning, Jules got to work designing and building the shop on Bridge Street while Linda and the kids focused on creating popcorn recipes. The whole family contributed to the process, including designing the logo and packaging.

“Customers know that a trip to Clusters will require them to answer a question – ‘Bag open or closed?’ Always answer OPEN! That way you get an extra scoop or so to enjoy walking around town. The only mistake you can make when you go to Clusters is when you don’t order a big enough bag.”

In addition to its Bucks County stores, Clusters has locations in Bethlehem, King of Prussia, Jackson and Wildwood, New Jersey.
