Meet Anthony Miner: Moore's Champion Popcorn Salesman

The Norman Transcript

Last September, Anthony sold a staggering $8,014 worth of popcorn for his Boy Scout troop -- in two months.

"We worked every night and all day on weekends, too," his mother, Sue, said. "We went all over Moore."

Leveraging his mom's driver's license, and his own extensive experience on the popcorn beat, Anthony has earned several sales awards, including:

2006 top seller for the Last Frontier Council.

2006 top seller for the Sooner Scout District.

2005 top seller for the Sooner Scout District.

2004-2007 top seller for his local scout troop, 291.

And he doen't plan on retiring anytime soon.

"He smiles and talks to people," his mom said. "And, if they have questions, he knows the answers. He's a good seller."

Obviously.

Anthony's method calls for targeting a neighborhood for at least two to three hours of door-to-door work each night, and about four to six hours of face contact on weekends.

Then the process starts over at another neighborhood.

"We drive to each neighborhood, park and then walk around," Sue said. "Then we go to another neighborhood and do the same thing."

Occasionally, they take a break.

"Sometimes we would cut our time short and go to the movies," Anthony said.
