“The best part of the co-branded store is that customers can complement their sweet treat cravings with a salty counterpart with our Doc Popcorn offerings,” he said.
The first Doc Popcorn location opened in 2003 outside of Boulder, Colorado.
“Doc Popcorn is delicious, fresh popcorn that uses high-quality ingredients – we craft our own proprietary flavor blends to produce a great popcorn experience,” D’Amato said. “This location will feature Doc Popcorn's newest flavor, Sour Cream & Onion, perfect for a tasty summer treat.”
