BOULDER, CO Doc Popcorn, a
national snack franchisor, has announced the signing of their 100th
franchise agreement. The new agreement marks a company milestone for the
rapidly growing business in a industry that does more than $1.7 billion in
revenue.
The 100th franchise agreement has been awarded to
Dolphus and Alma Chancy in Calremore, Oklahoma. The Chancy’s have worked in the
manufacturing business for more than 25 years. The Chancy’s agreement marks the
first presence for Doc Popcorn in Oklahoma.
"When I was exploring new business opportunities, I came across
Doc Popcorn and knew instantly this was exactly what I wanted to be doing for a
living," said Dolphus Chancy. "The prospect of selling a better-for-you version
of a product that everyone already loves excites me. It’s fun, easy to do and
is not a huge investment; how can you beat that?"
Doc Popcorn originally launched their franchise model in 2009
and has since opened more than 80 locations in 25 states, with 300 more in
development. Because of this, Doc Popcorn is consistently recognized as one of
the fastest growing snack franchises in the United States and the largest
popcorn retailer in the world. In April of this year, Doc Popcorn awarded four
multi-unit agreements that will make up a total of 20 additional locations throughout
the United States.
"Like Starbucks did for coffee and Auntie Anne’s did for
pretzels, Doc Popcorn has taken an already-popular commodity and made it better
and more accessible for consumers on-the-go," said Rob Israel, Doc Popcorn
Founder. "Our all-natural fresh-popped flavors of popcorn, coupled with a
low-cost of entry and simple business model is what’s keeping Doc Popcorn in
demand."
Doc Popcorn locations continue to ‘pop up’ all over the United
States with the company’s mobile units PopShop, PopKiosk, and PopCart. The
company offers a variety of flavors, all made from natural ingredients,
including sweet butter, cheesy cheddar, and hoppin’ jalapeno.
