Garretts Popcorn

[whirlsy]

Has anyone had this? my favorite thing in the whole world is carmel corn with peanuts or any kind of nuts, well with our up and coming trip to chicago a friend of mine was telling me about Garretts popcorn store and said I had to go. Well reading reviews it sounds like its a popular spot with long lines. Is it worth it?? tell me your favortie flavors. Thanks

YUMMY! They have THE BEST caramel corn I've ever had. I don't think they have nuts in it though. They also have awesome cheese popcorn that turns your hands nuclear yellow. I usually get a mix of caramel and cheese. They have a store on Michigan Ave. right by my work. Great, now I have to go get some! he he

Whirlsy,

The Michigan Ave. store is on the same block as the OMNI. You'll be just steps away! They also have several other stores located downtown. Most are in the Loop. The lines are always long, but the wait is definately worth it! Have fun in the city!

WOW same block I will have to find out when they open so I can be one of the first ones in line, who says carmel corn isnt for breakfast. By the way when did the FAO store close? I am so bummed I loved that store.

FAO finally closed??? They kept saying it was going to and everytime I went downtown it was still open.

 

[whirlsy]

Well maybe it still is open, when i pulled up their website it was gone so hopefully i am wrong.

No, you might be right. It might be gone. I haven't been down there since the early fall so it could be gone. Bummer!!!
