Garrett Popcorn Shops is a Chicago-style gourmet popcorn business started by a female entrepreneur using secret family recipes. For over 70 years, Shops have cooked small batches throughout the day with simple ingredients and no preservatives. Kernels are hot-air popped, recipes like the famous CaramelCrisp® are cooked in copper kettles, and everything is hand-scooped fresh.
The popcorn is very much tasty, delicious, and has an (almost) addictive taste, with multiple tasty products including a mix, CheeseCorn, and nuts popcorn. The shops have a cozy, inviting atmosphere and are super cute and clean, smelling amazing. The staff is friendly with a positive attitude, provides excellent service like sealing items for travel, and offers samples. It is a must-visit spot for popcorn lovers, and many people visit often.
Must try Garrett’s in Chicago, the Garrett’s mix flavor is amazing. The caramel crisp flavor and cheese corn is a perfect blend. I also sampled the premium flavor collection, the pecan, almond, cashew were. so good

Great popcorn. However I don’t understand why the price in this store is $2-5 MORE EXPENSIVE than the other locations. I bought the medium mix of the 3 premium kinds, thinking it’s more premium but in the end it’s just Caramel Crisp with some nuts. About $14 after tax.
