About Us

Snack & Smile

There’s nothing quite like the enticing smell of fresh popped popcorn. Combining delicious, natural flavors with one of the most popular snacks on the planet, the founders of Doc Popcorn dreamed of creating a wholesome, smile-inducing snack in a variety of mouth-watering flavors.

In 2003, that dream popped to life when the first Doc Popcorn location opened outside of Boulder, Colorado. More locations followed, inside malls and at other high traffic venues full of hungry snackers. Word spread of Doc Popcorn’s remarkable, freshly popped flavor and commitment to natural ingredients and in 2009 Doc Popcorn started its national expansion through franchising.

Doc Popcorn was purchased by Dippin’ Dots, LLC, the iconic beaded ice cream company, in 2014. The pairing opened the door for a sweet and salty co-brand franchise, gaining success by featuring both delicious snacks under one roof. International popularity ensued with Doc Popcorn popping up in fresh new locations across Chile and Oman.

The world’s largest popcorn franchise, Doc Popcorn is creating smiles by serving up overflowing bags of tasty, fresh-popped goodness at over 100 locations. Today, Doc Popcorn is part of J&J Snack Foods Corp., (NASDAQ: JJSF) a leader and innovator in beverages and snack foods, after the company purchased the Dippin’ Dots and Doc Popcorn brands in 2022.
