This is literally my go to place for popcorn in Chicagoland, has been for years. I used to go to…read morethe Geneva location but now that I have an office in Naperville (when I'm in town) I make it a point to come by and get some popcorn for my family and friends. Luke is here and I can't tell you how great he is. I used to bring a giant suitcase and fill it but this visit I got 11 large bags and a flat ship rate so Luke is packing up my order and shipping it to arrive in Atlanta, where I now live and the popcorn game is soft. Nuts on Clark and Garrett's don't hold a candle to their white cheddar, and you also don't risk breaking a crown from a seed when you order from here. Thanks Luke! I'll be sure to have everyone cheers you for hooking me up and making me look good. Support small owned businesses!

I am currently at the Q center for a capstone review and was given a bag in my welcome bag. The…read morepopcorn was fresh, the only thing that I found a little sketchy was how easily the bag was to open( meaning there wasn't a safety seal).

I saw this place as I was walking to the Arcada Theatre. It is a small storefront that shares the…read moresame building as the theatre and has an entrance from the inside of the theatre as well as from the side street around the corner. A name like "Chicago Turtle Factory" caught my attention, since it depicted a cartoon turtle on its sign. This is a nice little candy and popcorn shop run by two charming Indian guys. I came in and found what I wanted immediately: chocolate covered raisins layered in a very thick coating of chocolate, just the way I like it. Then I looked around and saw something my 6 year old would like: red, white and blue gummy toy soldier chewy candy. And something for my older son: chewy candy slices covered in sugar. As I bought these things, the man at the counter offered me a sample of his own toffee, made right there. While I am not a toffee fanatic, one taste of the smooth tasting and crunchy toffee, and I knew my wife would love this. So I ended up spending quite a bit of time and money before I was done here. I even came back into the store after I had already found my seat at the theatre. Besides their own hand-dipped chocolate treats, the store carries a variety of bulk candies, nuts, or jelly beans. There's also old-time favorites you can't find these days, like those candy cigarettes some people might remember seeing long ago, but are now frowned upon by those who think they encourage smoking in kids. Since the Turtle Factory is connected to the theatre lobby, it is like a concession shop for Arcada patrons. And looking for good cheesy popcorn? They got some gourmet cheese corn in small bags at the counter too. Since I look forward to return to Arcada, I know I will be back in here again as well.

Pros: - great service with free samples. The friendly…read moreemployee gave me this huge slice of a turtle chocolate the size of a business card cut in half lengthwise. It was the biggest sample that I've ever received at a chocolate/candy store. The caramel was fresh and not stale, and my eyes went like O_O when I saw the gigantic size of one whole turtle! It was the size of my palm lol. - nice selection of gummy candies and chocolate-covered goodies. A lot of the non-prepackaged candies are stored in these large plastic container jars. - caramel & cheese popcorn was delicious, a good non-Garrett's contender. - convenient location right next to Starbucks. I can just walk here from the library. I have a fondness for sour gummy candies so I picked out a few like sour grapefruit, black cherry, green apple, and striped strips. Of those, I liked the sour grapefruit the best. The total came to $2.79, priced at $3.99/half-pound. Gummybears are about $2.99/half-pound, some sour gummies at $3.99, others priced higher. The cheese & caramel popcorn was $5.99 for a large bag the size of a gallon of milk. You can get 2 for $10, or a smaller size for $3.99. Cons: - needs better interior design. A candy store should evoke memories of childhood and happiness. The interior design for this business seemed too utilitarian for me. Someone should pretty this place up. - unfortunately, I spotted at least two gummy varieties that didn't look fresh, like there was liquid towards the bottom of the jar.
