Dippin’ Dots & Doc Popcorn owners do best in malls, outlet shopping centers, stadiums, entertainment venues, convention centers, transportation hubs, amusement parks, fairs and festivals, farmers’ markets, and just about any other high traffic venue where people are hungry and looking for snacks.
How Long Does It Take to Get Dippin’ & Poppin’?
Depending on your location and needs, after Discovery Day & Training at the Corporate Headquarters in Paducah, you could be Dippin’ & Poppin’ in 3 - 6 months! You work directly with our real estate team (more info below) on site selection and lease negotiation. Then our design and construction team steps in to lead the build-out. All the while, you are working with your Region Managers and the operations department to get all your supplies ordered, accounts set-up, and start the staffing process. Before you know it, your opening date has arrived and your Region Managers will be there to train you on-site for your first opening week, making sure you have all the tools you need for success.
