Established in 2003 by Rob and Renee Israel and based in Boulder, Colorado, Doc Popcorn has revolutionized the gourmet popcorn market. Known for its creative spin on this beloved snack, the franchise offers an array of flavors that appeal to diverse taste buds.
The brand began franchising in 2009 and has since expanded swiftly across the U.S. and internationally. Doc Popcorn's unique edge lies in its use of all-natural ingredients, providing a wholesome treat free from trans fats, gluten, and high fructose corn syrup. This focus on health-conscious snacking has made it a favorite among those who seek guilt-free indulgence.
Doc Popcorn's variety of flavors, from traditional choices like "Better Butter" to more adventurous options such as "Sweet Butter," "Cheesy Cheddar," and "Hoppin' Jalapeño," distinguishes it in the popcorn industry.

Doc Popcorn provides franchisees with territorial protections that vary based on the type of franchise operation. Franchisees may operate at any event except for a "Protected Event" of another franchisee.
This system allows franchisees to protect certain events they are operating at, ensuring they have the opportunity to return to these events in the future without competition from other Doc Popcorn franchisees.
Franchisees do not receive exclusive territory in the traditional sense. They may face competition from other franchisees, outlets owned by Doc Popcorn, or other channels of distribution or competitive brands controlled by Doc Popcorn.
