Glass said managing partner Rick Roman announced plans to build a popcorn box standing approximately 20 feet tall near the front of the theatre property and pursue official certification through Guinness World Records.
“We’re excited about the potential to bring new attention to Glasgow and create something our community can take pride in,” Glass said.
Glass said the theatre currently serves a market area of more than 110,000 people, with hopes of expanding that reach to more than 150,000 through the project.
Potential promotional opportunities could include partnerships with Mammoth Cave National Park and rest areas along Interstate 65, Glass said.
The project remains a proposal, and further details about its timeline and development have not been announced.
