About Garrett Popcorn Shops®
At Garrett Popcorn Shops®, we’ve maintained our dedication to fresh, delicious popcorn since we first opened at 10 West Madison Street in Chicago. We continue to use only the highest quality ingredients from area producers as we handcraft our gourmet popcorn in old-fashioned copper kettles. We strive to deliver the same popcorn today that customers first talked about in 1949.
What makes Garrett Popcorn Shops® so special? We hot air pop our signature blend of kernels, which we then mix into our secret family recipes. Every batch is handmade daily and the result is an irresistible snacking sensation, which has generated lines outside of our retail locations for decades.
Our highest priority is to satisfy our customers’ cravings for great popcorn. When local fans asked for a mixture of sweet and salty, we created The Chicago Mix: a blend of our famous CaramelCrisp® and CheeseCorn™ recipes. It remains our most popular flavor and a consistent favorite throughout our entire fan base. Our year round menu also includes Plain, Buttery, Cashew CaramelCrisp®, Almond CaramelCrisp®, Pecan CaramelCrisp® and Macadamia CaramelCrisp®. Keep an eye out for our seasonal flavors from time to time as well. You never know what will pop up!
Our great taste has gone global, but hometown values guide us. Although our gourmet popcorn has traveled to New York, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore, our many Chicago locations keep us firmly grounded at home. When you visit, you can find us in the heart of Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, next to popular theater and tourist attractions, or as you catch a plane at O’Hare International Airport.
If you are unable to visit one of our shops here or abroad, you can still find us online at GarrettPopcorn.com or reach us by phone at 888-4-POPCORN / 888-476-7267. Experience firsthand why Garrett Popcorn Shops® have been Chicago Tradition Since 1949.
he folks I read your blog and I think you’re blog will be one of the bests if you keep up the good work!
Hi, do you know if it’s halal for Muslims? Thanks!
We’re not certified halal at this time, sorry
hi, may i check if it’s not halal because it uses non halal ingredients (eg alcoholic bases/animal emulsifiers etc) or it just did not seek to be certified as halal? Also does this apply only to the US outlets or all?
We are seeking halal certification in Malaysia, but don’t know if we will be certified before our stores open.
While we use the same ingredients in all of our stores, there is no global certification for halal. So a certification in Malaysia would not be an endorsement of the same popcorn in other countries. At this time we do not plan to seek halal certification in the United States.
Thank you, I hope this answers your questions.
Which flavours are suitable for vegetarians?
i strongly believe that if you have Halal Certification, you will have more and more customers buying garrett’s popcorn
We agree, and it is something that Garrett Popcorn Shops is pursuing. Thank you!
do u have franchise in malaysia?
We will have two new stores in MY later this month. Thanks! ^tg
Do you offer franchises? I was under the impression that all of your stores are family/company owned. Is that true?
Sorry, we don’t offer franchise opportunities. Garrett Popcorn Shops is owned by a Chicago-based family.
When are your stores in KLCC n One Utama opening? Is there any opening promo activities?
There are a few delays so we can’t announce an opening date yet. Please check back here or on http://facebook.com/GarrettPopcornShopsMY
Thanks!
Btw, I’ve just tried your popcorn 10 days ago in KL (friend brought back from Singapore) and I’ve already made a trip to Singapore just to get a few bags for myself and my loved ones! Thank you for the best popcorn in the world!!!
Thank you for being a fan of our gourmet popcorn! ^tg
Could you let us know which flavours are suitable for vegetarians since they are not certified Halal?
Our popcorn flavors are vegetarian. More information is available here: http://www.garrettpopcorn.com/service/nutritional-information/
really appreciate if you could get the halal certification soon
The certification is in progress! Will announce it here and on the Malaysia Facebook page as soon as the approval arrives. Thanks!
i can’t wait for the certification..wohooooooo !
I am a big fan of Garrett popcorn and I will like to thank you for opening the shops in Singapore.
However, I will like to enquire if all your popcorn is made FRESHLY on the same day?
This is because I have just bought a bag of Garrett popcorns (LARGE) for my enjoyment through the Christmas holidays and I am TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED to say that the whole packet of popcorns is NOT crunchy! And this was only about 2 hours after purchase! This batch had been a TOTAL WASTE of my money.
Could it be the time I bought the popcorns? Because in all my previous purchases, I usually buy them in the morning with the exception of this purchase which I bought in the evening.
I really hope you can give me a form of explanation because we pay a premium for Garrett popcorns and this definately isnt the standard we should be getting!!!!!!
From a very annoyed and angry customer
Our popcorn is handmade in small batches throughout the day. I apologize for your experience and encourage you to leave details via our site at http://www.garrettpopcorn.com/service/contact/. Thank you!
Is Garrett popcorn going to be halal certified in Singapore?
Not at this time, sorry.
im 12 and my granmother carol lenise garret told me that the founders of garret popcorn are my ansesters and that her grandfather leo garret who passed in 2007 was our family garret and the popcorn garrets were his extended family. please write back:)
Marsan, sorry but we didn’t find that connection in our company records. Thanks for writing!
By now did your company get the halal cert?
Sorry, the application is still in progress!
I was trying to inquire to see if you were hiring at this location. I’ve been looking for a application for this location but unfortunately I was unable to find one.
Sorry, it’s not clear which location you’re referring to from your comment. If you complete the online application and you’re selected to move forward in the hiring process, you may indicate your preferences for Shop location at that time. Our employment opportunities are listed here: http://www.garrettpopcorn.com/careers/ Thank you!

At this time, Garrett Popcorn Shops does not franchise. Thank you!

Sorry, not yet!
So happy to be reunited with my favorite popcorn!! I moved to New England 30 years ago. I never forgot the wonderful taste but couldn’t remember the store name. While vacationing recently, I caught a morning show that featured your popcorn. I know where that is!! I remember standing in line! Now I can order online and share, or maybe not…
Maybe someday you can open a store in the Boston area.
