Batch to batch. From scratch. Since 1949. A Chicago tradition. Our world-famous cheddar and caramel popcorn mix. A fan favorite. No artificial color. Love at First Bite: We start in a kitchen, carefully selecting ingredients and handcrafting each batch. As our kernels are air-popped, the familiar aromas of cooking in copper kettles flow through our shops. Yes, we are more than just popcorn. Born and raised in Chicago, our first shop opened in 1949. Our amazing fans first mixed caramel crisp and cheese corn together. Copied by many, replicated by none. Welcome to Garrett.
