Fan-fueled Bucket Design Contest gave popcorn
lovers nationwide the chance to design the brand's next seasonal
bucket
PADUCAH,
Ky., Oct. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of
National Popcorn Poppin' Month, Doc Popcorn, the world's largest
fresh-popped popcorn franchise retailer, is unveiling its
first-ever fan-designed popcorn bucket. This limited-edition bucket
stems from the launch of the brand's Bucket Design Contest,
which gave fans across the country a once-in-a-lifetime
POP-ortunity to design the brand's next seasonal bucket earlier
this year.
Annabelle Gallegos of
Westminster, CO was selected the
winner of Doc Popcorn's Bucket Design Content. Gallegos's design
depicts a whimsical world of popcorn and skillfully includes Doc
Popcorn alongside popcorn-inspired scenery. The design is
imaginative and incorporates Doc Popcorn flavors, styles, and
themes.
"We were thrilled to see how our fans creatively depicted Doc
Popcorn through our first Bucket Design Challenge. Annabelle's
winning design will temporarily replace our year-round Doc Popcorn
bucket this October, just in time for National Popcorn Poppin'
Month," said Martin Azambuya, Director, Brand and Sales Support for
Dippin' Dots and Doc Popcorn. "The enthusiasm and creativity we
received through the contest submission phase was extremely
impressive and it was challenging to pick just one winner as all
designs submitted highlighted Doc Popcorn's brand spirit and
showcased our fans incredible passion for popcorn!"
The contest was open to popcorn lovers nationwide earlier this
year. Along with bragging rights as the winner of the Bucket Design
Contest, Gallegos won a $500 Visa
gift card and a free shipment of Doc Popcorn in her newly designed
bucket.
"I am so proud of what I created for the Doc Popcorn Bucket
Design Challenge and how it brought my love for popcorn and the
exciting elements of the Doc Popcorn brand to life," said
Annabelle Gallegos, winner of Doc
Popcorn's Bucket Design Contest. "I thought it would be fun to
create a scene where the longer you looked, the more surprises you
would find hidden throughout. Winning this contest will be a moment
that I'll never forget, and the limited-edition bucket will be such
a cool souvenir to keep, especially in my life as an artist."
The brand is encouraging popcorn lovers from coast to coast to
pop, savor, and celebrate National Popcorn Poppin' Month throughout
the month of October. Gallegos's designed popcorn bucket will be
available at participating Doc Popcorn franchise locations
throughout October and beyond while supplies last.

the world. In 2022, Doc Popcorn was acquired by J&J Snack Foods
Corp. (NASDAQ: JJSF), a leader and innovator in the snack food
industry for over 50 years.
