Doc Popcorn/ Dippin’ Dots

Following last month’s grand opening of the first ever Doc Popcorn/Dippin’ Dots co-branded franchise in Montana, US, the two snack franchisors are primed to expand the dual-concept model across the nation.

The co-brand opportunity was made official last year after Fischer Enterprises – the parent company of Dippin’ Dots Franchising, franchisor of flash-frozen ice cream and other frozen treats, acquired Doc Popcorn the largest franchisor of fresh-popped popcorn. Combining the two leading snack and treat brands, the new dual-concept store occupies nearly 1,000-square-feet of retail space.

“The co-brand concept seamlessly combines the best features of both brands under one roof, while expanding day-parts and product offerings,” says Rob Israel, co-founder of Doc Popcorn. “Both brands continue to flourish and grow as people seek more convenient snacking options with unique and innovative products.”

Steve Rothenstein, senior director of franchising for both Dippin’ Dots Franchising and Doc Popcorn Franchising says, “The two concepts complement each other well with sweet and savory offerings, as well as with different seasonal selling opportunities.”
