I've been expecting it to close since it opened in the summer. I went in once. There is very little foot traffic. They have about 100 flavors of popcorn stored in big Cambro containers. The popcorn is expensive and very ordinary. It's not a thing like Garrett's in Chicago where there is always a line for their fresh, delicious product.

That almost never happens. We've had a popcorn shop (outside of a mall I might add) for about two nears now. It's called Heavenly Gourmet Popcorn. I don't see them doing a ton of business, but perhaps they do mail orders. It's also quite expensive.Lee at rootsinalpharetta.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05446362253485207191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-22853315974167586622012-11-09T13:13:09.835-05:002012-11-09T13:13:09.835-05:00Grapevine Mills is near Dallas, not Houston.Grapevine Mills is near Dallas, not Houston.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-61892662432653249442012-11-09T09:41:25.283-05:002012-11-09T09:41:25.283-05:00My wife and I have been noticing this trend as wel...My wife and I have been noticing this trend as well. To me it seems like a revamp of a trend when I was a kid in the 80's. Every mall in Atlanta had a flavored popcorn place. Never a big fan, prefer my popcorn warm with real butter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-85514819529092643842012-11-09T08:47:13.701-05:002012-11-09T08:47:13.701-05:00Most of these are just attempted copies at what Ga...Most of these are just attempted copies at what Garrett's is. Some are closer than others in their attempt. The best stores make their popcorn daily or several times a day versus having it shipped in from somewhere else. There's nothing like a bag of Chicago mix from Garrett's right after they made it. Price is also a factor. The new Caja popcorn @ Ptree Battle is pretty expensive compared to the per bag prices at other stores. The popcorn was also a lower quality with lots of hulls and their flavor choices are limited to 5 or combinations thereof. I wish them all the best but time will tell who will make it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-75512559941065632532012-11-09T08:35:09.099-05:002012-11-09T08:35:09.099-05:00I believe it was George Harrison who said "Al...I believe it was George Harrison who said "All fads must pass".Chris Callawaynoreply@blogger.com
