Tucson Rodeo
For many years our popcorn has been a part of La Fiesta De Los Vaqueros rodeo. This huge, annual, Tucson event began in 1925 and is as famous for its parade as for the rodeo. The Rodeo Parade is the largest parade in the country without any motorized vehicles. Just feet and hooves. If you’ve been in the stands at the rodeo or along the parade eating popcorn, it probably came from Uncle Bob’s.
The Uncle Bob’s Children’s TV Show 
From 1961 to 1979 “Uncle” Bob Love hosted a local children’s television show in Tucson. For many, their first introduction to Uncle Bob’s Popcorn was from this widely watched television show. Our popcorn was advertised there. The fact that we had the same name was just pure serendipity. If you were on that show, you’re a star. |
Popping corn in Tucson since 1963

Uncle Bob’s Popcorn was started in 1963. Tucson was much more of a sleepy cow town than it is today. The machines used for popping have changed a lot since then too. We started out with just regular old butter and salt flavor and over time added many more!

Wildcats rule and our popcorn is there. In the stands, at the games, and all manner of events. ‘Nuf said.
