I have lived in Chicago my whole life and am a popcorn connesieur

I personally like Nuts on Clark better than Garretts.  but I certainly would not turn my nose up at the latter either!

Is Garrett popcorn the one in Chicago?

Yes, And I believe Frango is just Chicago too.  It was originally made at Marshall Fields and then when they were bought by Macy's - Macy's kept the Frango's manufacturing and the name remained.  With Garrett buying Frango now it will still be sold in Macy's thankfully.  I thought the same thing as the OP, the Garrett popcorn covered with Frango's will be INTENSE!!  I am sure we will be seeing that for sure in the future.

Oh goodness dare I hope that Macy's will sell this delicious mix in their stores?  To be honest I don't frequent Macy's as the last time I was there a manager was screaming at her staff even though she saw me standing there (trust me, it was awful) so that was it for me but I could always find a different Macy's . . .

Wow, what an awful woman @momtochloe. I often wonder if they think that makes them look more "in charge" or a strong manager? It makes them look like they can't earn the respect of their staff so they have to lead by fear and threats. How unfortunate. I have had that happen in front of me in the past (it was a lady in her 40s screaming at an 18 or 19 yr old) and I walked up to her and asked for the name of the GM. She wanted to know why and I told her. I said I think they need to know what a mistake they made in hiring you because you can't lead by example or with integrity so you do it with fear. I got that number too and I told them everything. She had that poor girl crying. Dang, it makes me mad just thinking about it!! UGH, I hate people like that!! 

How are you doing MTC? Hope all is well!

Sigh @Irshgrl31201 it's awful isn't it?  All I could think of was I can't believe you could be that big of a jerk in front of a potential (and now clearly lost) customer.  The good news is the employees looked like they could care less so apparently this wasn't their first rodeo.  Sad for the store to say the least.

Thanks for asking my friend, things are good with me.  I am in the process of selling my house and buying a condo and hopefully this will be wrapped up very soon (tomorrow we go condo hunting).  I hope you and yours are doing well and always good to hear from you @Irshgrl31201! . . .

Oh, how exciting!! Congratulations! The older I get the more I think about that too. There is so much to take care of with a house, I would love to let someone else do all of that.
