Only in Chicago and New York will you find Garrett Popcorn Shops. Nearly every day, long lines wind from inside the shop to around the corner, especially on weekends. The shop is a Chicago tradition.

The popcorn at Garrett does not fall under the inexpensive category, especially for popcorn. But it is a quality product. You can shop State Street and head toward Garret’s for a single-serve bag of popcorn, munch and crunch as you stroll through downtown to spend the rest of your day. Or, you can bring home a 2-gallon decorative tin full of this tasty treat. Garrett also ships.

Inside Garrett, you might on rare occasion find it empty, save for the hard-working staff. But wait two seconds, and it will fill up like a sudden flood of rainwater in monsoon territory! The popcorn is so popular that even Oprah named it one of her favorite things in 2002 and 2005. Garrett Popcorn Shops is one much-loved popcorn shop among many Chicagoans and tourists alike.
