Steven Maier, the company's founder, at the age of 15 decided he wanted to be his own boss. One of Steven's favorite snacks as a kid was popcorn. After consuming the numerous versions out there, he realized nothing compared to what his dad made at home - especially his kettle corn. After graduating with a degree in Business Finance from UCF (Go Knights!) and working several years in the IMSA racing series, it was time for him to start working for himself. Steven approached his dad (Dr. Maier) for a small loan and he agreed. And that's how Doc's Gourmet Popcorn came to life!
We are excited to announce that we are the official popcorn of the ERA Motorsport's LMP 2 car in IMSA. I want to thank Dwight Merriman and Kyle Tilley for giving us the opportunity to have Doc's Gourmet Popcorn on the #18.
