Garrett Popcorn Shops is the Chicago-style gourmet popcorn maker for over 70 years. It was started by a female entrepreneur using secret family recipes. The shops cook small batches throughout the day with simple ingredients and no preservatives, just like the first locations where popcorn was hot-air popped and hand-scooped. Fans describe the popcorn as delicious, the best, and almost addictive, with a fresh, warm Chicago Mix of caramel and cheese that is no match for grocery store versions. The taste can transport people to their younger days. Visitors report exceptional, excellent, and welcoming customer service, with staff described as very friendly, super nice, approachable, personable, professional, and genuinely caring. Many are huge fans who always visit when in town and highly recommend it.
Always love to eat this popcorn team was very welcoming and helped with the selection. They let me know we could mix so we could have both flavors. We stayed in walking distance no line out the door that day guess we went at the right time. Love it !

Garrett's popcorn at Navy Pier has the best customer service! Always fresh and the staff makes great suggestions on new things to try.... The manager is so polite and respectful.

That sweet, salty caramel corn smell hits you right away. It was super busy on a Friday night, so don't expect a chill hang, but the energy was fun. So many delicious flavors to choose from!
