At Garrett® Popcorn, they stand for the best of family traditions, handed across generations. They treasure the moments of joy and celebration. They love to celebrate all the moments that matter, whether they be big or small.

Garrett Popcorn Shops was started by a female entrepreneur, who developed the now-famous recipes in her family kitchen. The first Shops in Chicago sold CaramelCrisp^®, CheeseCorn, Buttery and Plain for 5 cents a bag alongside homemade fudge and roasted nuts. Kernels were hot-air popped, CaramelCrisp^® was cooked in copper kettles, and finished recipes were hand scooped right before fans’ eyes. Just like today.

Since 1949 Shops cook Garrett Popcorn in small batches throughout each day and their ecommerce kitchen is no different. Cooked on the day they ship order, each recipe is made with simple ingredients, never with preservatives, and always by cooks using the same secret family recipes handed across generations. Their quality ingredients, welcoming experience, and (almost) addictive taste has made them the Chicago-style gourmet popcorn for over 70 years.
