They still have Jumbo Video here in Newfoundland! There's one in Mount Pearl, I brought the video "The Best Of Kermit On Sesame Street" there last year. And this one's still got free popcorn! (At least, it did when I last went there, when I brought the aforementioned Kermit video)
-
Still is. I remember the free popcorn at the one by my house in St. John's, NL (the plaza that used to have K-Mart but still has a Sobeys). Ironically, they since opened a Jumbo Video next to the Sobeys in what used to be an Allan's Video, and I liked renting movies there when Jumbo later became Showtime Video, then Blockbuster.

My parents took us here, all the time, when I was a kid. DEF remember the free popcorn. Great memories. ; )
-
Ah, man, I used to love Jumbo. 2 for 1 rentals and free popcorn!
The days that Jumbo and Gamer's Choice went out of business in my area are 2 days I'll always regret :(
-
There are still about 10 or so locations in Ontario.. But only 1 left in Toronto.. with NO free popcorn... booooo!!!!
-
The one in Moncton, New Brunswick had a massive inflatable version of the mascot on their roof. Well, it got stolen and the police found it later on in someone's garage. Haha.

There's only one in the Toronto area (Queen East). Oddly enough last weekend, I was in the area and saw it and made my friend go in. They didn't have the free popcorn anymore, but it did seem busy. Their VHS selections were incredible.

Some things I remember from the Jumbo Video they used to have in Oakville, Ontario.
1) The section with all the horror movies was a giant castle and I was to afraid to go in there.
2) The smell of stale, cold popcorn in the kids section.
3) Renting nothing but Transformer movies and TV episodes
4) Squeezing the rental cases so the VHS would slide out.
