About Doc Popcorn
Seeking a healthy snack, Rob and Renee began popping their own naturally-flavored popcorn in their New York City apartment in 2003. They then moved to Boulder, Colorado, and started selling their popcorn in malls, stadiums and stores throughout the state. They began franchising Doc Popcorn stores in 2009. The company’s fresh-popped popcorn is available in a variety of all-natural flavors, including sugar-free, soy-free and dairy-free options.
