Garrett Popcorn Shops is a Chicago-style gourmet popcorn business with over 70 years of history, using secret family recipes. The popcorn is cooked in small batches throughout the day with simple ingredients and no preservatives, just as it was when it first sold for 5 cents a bag. The fan favorite is the 'Garrett Mix', a taste explosion combining cheese and caramel popcorn that is simply satisfying and delicious. The popcorn is very fresh, with an almost addictive taste that has people hooked, making special trips or popcorn runs to get it. The shops provide a welcoming experience with great customer service. Many are introduced to it on food tours and are glad to encounter the chain again.
Best Carmel I have ever tasted, never share to my friends

Best popcorn ive ever had. And if you get it freshly made you're really winning. The cheese and the Carmel mix so well. I wish there was a southern Illinois location.

Ironically, my last name is the same as the popcorn. Carmel, and Cheese will always be my favorite, with a pink lemonade🍿🩷💯
