Garrett Popcorn Marks 75 Years of Deliciousness in Chicago

Hey, popcorn enthusiasts! Guess what? It's National Popcorn Day, and we've got something special to celebrate – the 75th anniversary of Garrett Popcorn! This family-owned popcorn haven first opened up shop back in September 1949 at 10 W. Madison, and since then, it's become a bona fide Chicago tradition.

Now, here's the scoop for the festivities: In honor of this milestone, Garrett is treating its fans to their famous "Garrett Mix" for just $1.75 (usually $4.99) from 9 am to noon, Friday through Sunday. Yep, you heard that right – a popcorn party that lasts all weekend!

Now, let's dive into the intrigue. Did you know that Garrett had to switch things up a bit? Back in 2014, they had to say goodbye to calling their special blend the "Chicago Mix." Why? Well, turns out a company in St. Paul, Minnesota, trademarked the term and took Garrett to court. Quite the popcorn drama, right?

But hey, whether you call it "Chicago Mix" or "Garrett Mix," one thing's for sure – it's delicious, and now you can snag it for a steal this weekend. So, if you're in the Windy City or just passing through, make sure to swing by Garrett Popcorn and join in on the 75th-anniversary celebration. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you! 🍿✨
