Garretts Popcorn – A brief history…

While Garretts Popcorn is not as old as the Chicago Popcorn tradition itself (which spans a hundred years) Garretts Popcorn has been around longer then most Gourmet Popcorn stores- they started way back in 1949! But they still make it the same way they did back then with high quality ingredients that start with fresh air popped popcorn. Since Garretts Popcorn uses high quality ingredients they don't have to rely on fats or oils for taste so you get a more healthy snack and one that tastes better too. It should be no surprise that Garretts Popcorn is still a family owned and run business after all these years and their true recipes are family secrets!

But for many people Garretts Popcorn really got on the map when Oprah Winfrey added it to her 2002 list of "Favorite Things"! Specifically "It" was Garretts Cheese and Carmel Popcorn mix. Oprah again named it as one of her Favorite things in 2005!

Garretts Popcorn – What they are famous for

Well Garretts Popcorn starts with popcorn Kernels (you can click on this link to read our article about Popcorn Kernels) that are privately grown for Garretts. Then they air pop the Kernels while you wait and then apply their famous toppings before serving them to you fresh and warm!

Basically Garretts Popcorn and there are not a bazillion flavors to choose from. It really boils down to these:

Plain Popcorn,
Buttery Popcorn,
CaramelCrisp® So good it is a registered trademark of Garretts popcorn (it can be mixed with 3 different kinds of nuts)
CheeseCorn™ . - Also Trade Marked
"The Chicago Mix" – as stated earlier – one of Oprahs Favorite things

They also have some really nice gift tins and party packs.

But be prepared for it, this quality does not come cheap.

You can spend upwards of $100 on gift tins and party packs while a 1 gallon tin of Garretts Popcorn will start at around $25.
