About Popcorn Express

The smell of popcorn draws a line faster than a movie trailer. I run a small mobile popcorn setup, popping and packing for fairs, fundraisers, and the occasional office that wants a snack revolt. People come for classic bags and are surprised when they see our exciting gourmet flavors. You never know what flavor we will come up with next. I keep things fairly simple. You’ll see tubs and bags stacked, a whiteboard with what’s available, and a steady stream of kids and adults arguing about whose pick is best. I do events around Weatherford and the DFW area, and I’ll cater a party if you want popcorn instead of cake. My service is straightforward, casual, and informal, which works well for community markets and school nights. I show up with popcorn, serve it , and clean up as best I can. If you want predictable snacks and a few smiles, I’m the popcorn truck that shows up and gets the job done.

Robert Mather

Owner, Popcorn Express

The first time I rolled into the Parker County Peach Festival I figured I was just testing a hunch; I did not expect half the town to line up and tell me to keep coming back. That moment changed how I looked at weekends and spare hours. I run Popcorn Express out of Weatherford; it started as a family thing and grew because people kept asking for us at fundraisers and neighborhood events across the DFW area. I handle the day-to-day, the schedules, and the long nights prepping orders, and I still show up in person to all the events because I like seeing the faces who come back year after year. What drives me is simple, getting involved where folks need support and turning small gatherings into something people remember.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Dallas, so booking early gives you the best selection.

Venue & Setup Requirements

Usually self-contained
Most trucks bring their own power and water. Confirm any hookups with Popcorn Express when you book.
Space needed

A flat, accessible parking spot—typically 12' × 25' for most trucks

The per-serving prices on this page already include Food Truck Club's service fee; sales tax is added and the complete total is shown before you confirm.
How far in advance should I book Popcorn Express?

Popcorn Express typically answers a request within 1 hour, so you'll know quickly whether the date is open. Food trucks in Dallas book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.
What types of events does Popcorn Express cater?

Where does Popcorn Express serve?

Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Popcorn Express hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need. Some trailers and dessert carts do run on an outlet, so mention what your venue offers and Popcorn Express will confirm any hookups before the event.
