Founded in 2003 in Denver, Colorado—a global hub for natural foods and LOHAS, nestled at the foot of the Rocky Mountains—Doc Popcorn has grown to become one of America's most recognized popcorn brands, with 85 stores nationwide. Committed to high quality and natural ingredients, they use trans-fat-free corn oil. Free from artificial colors, sweeteners, and MSG, it's a safe choice even for children, and ideal as a first snack after milk.
The flavors are impactful yet subtle, with a light texture that keeps you coming back for more. This has captivated a wide range of customers, from health-conscious celebrities to families. Now operating 88 stores in three countries worldwide, the Harajuku store is the first in Asia.
The menu features eight flavors, including the highly popular "Denver Mix," which combines "Triple White Cheddar" and "Caramel Bliss." New flavors are planned to be added regularly.
Furthermore, they offer the industry's largest 3.5-gallon tin. You can choose up to three of your favorite flavors to create a personalized original tin.
The Harajuku store, marked by its yellow signage, features an in-store kitchen, ensuring freshly made popcorn at all times.
