Probably, but I would have to go out of my way to do so. The workers at this particular location could've been nicer. It seems they all had a case of having a stick shoved up so far, they couldn't even smile or acknowledge customers in the shop, and that attitude was for everyone. I mean, that's a job you chose, amirite? Other than the nastiness for no reason, I did enjoy the popcorn. I'll just go to another shop where employees are actually happy to be there.

Staff tried to give me the lady in front's order that was returned by her since she came back and I guess we ordered the same thing but I was not going to have that. Got a small for $5.55 (with tax) and it was yummy! Really a fan of the mix that comes with cheddar and caramel. It was only good for a few hours because the next day it was super stale. Heard if you buy the super expensive tin, it also doesn't help that much in terms of freshness, so best to buy and eat instantly.

Wow -- what a wonderful owner, small business, and of course, POPCORN! We were greeted the moment…read morewe walked in with warmth, expertise, and hospitality.

Whenever I have traveled through the Chicago airports, I have always been on the lookout for…read moreGarrett Popcorn Shops so that I could get some amazing popcorn as I had a layover in Chicago. This time, I was actually spending several days in Chicago, so it was only natural for my friend and me to swing by the first Garrett Popcorn Shop we found near our hotel to buy gifts for people at home. We stopped by the 173 N Michigan Avenue location, and there was no line at first (though there was when we were leaving). We saw a whole bunch of options from the Chicago-style Garrett Mix (caramel and cheddar) to Caramel Crisp, Cheese Corn, Almond Caramel Crisp, and Pecan Caramel Crisp. We decided it only made sense to get the Chicago-style Garrett Mix for everyone. The service was quick, and the employee helping us was helpful and walked us through the best deals to get the most items. We ended up getting $5 off (due to how much we ordered) plus got an additional discount due to the number we ordered, too. We chose tins for the ease of packing and travel, which is considered a part of the "Build Your Bundle" promotion. The hours at this location are generally 10 AM to 7 PM though that is subject to change. Like at many other stores, there were also options for Frango Chocolate mixed in or using the app or website for Skip the Line & Order Ahead options. They also provide for meetings and events. If you sign up on their website for their newsletter, you can earn $10 in savings. Since 1949, they have been creating special experiences for customers. As they state on their website, they are "more than just popcorn!" To me, it's a taste of Chicago!

I did, however, make sure to stop by on my return flight. Service was super quick. Price wasn't terribly high for the airport and a delicious snack. They were super organized which I appreciated so much (being in a rush AGAIN because of a short layover!). By the time I got to the register, she already rung up my item and was ready for payment! Will definitely get it again. Warning, the caramel is a bit oily so be sure to grab napkins.

The first visit the popcorn was good but seemed to lack freshness as it began to taste stale within 24 hours. I'm hoping the second batch that I purchased to take home is better. I also like that the photo op fits the area being in the theatre district. Free samples are available upon request, which gave me the chance to try the spicy cheese flavor. It had a nice kick and was definitely worth sampling. Overall, this is a nice quick location to grab popcorn.
