Startup company Disrupt Snacks will open a factory for the production of healthy popcorn, in January 2020.

The factory is owned by Georgio Daher who created the brand name ‘Pop Pop’ for the popcorn.

The factory is being built in Zahle’s industrial zone with an investment of $650,000, excluding the land cost. The total built-up area of the factory is 650 square meters (m2).
