CHICAGO, IL — Garrett Popcorn is celebrating 70 years in business, and everyone will be able to reap the benefits.

The popcorn can be picked up between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. and is only available at Garrett's brick-and-mortar locations, the Chicago Tribune reports.

If you would prefer popcorn for free, then you will want to hold out for Saturday's 70th anniversary party, which will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sept. 18 in the Pioneer Court, 400 N. Michigan Avenue, Chicago. There will complimentary samples of Garrett popcorn, games and more.
