Garrett Popcorn Shops

Garrett Popcorn Shops

​

Garrett Popcorn is a renowned Chicago institution with long lines often forming outside a small retail space that offers specialty popcorn. SGC converted a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant site – vacant for more than 10 years – into a new Garrett Popcorn Shop in Chicago. The client outlined a grueling 12-week timeline to transform this 1700 square foot building and SGC was up to the challenge.

​

SGC executed an interior and exterior demolition, clearing the site for new steel structuring, roofing, plumbing, mechanical, HVAC, water service and electrical systems installations. The Garrett Popcorn Building required a great deal of custom work including painting, light fixtures, millwork, trim carpentry and ceramic tile flooring.

​

SGC fabricated and installed a new fence along the perimeter in addition to a new parking lot with new concrete curbs, sidewalks, and handicap ramps. In an effort to honor the character of the neighborhood, an exterior wall featured a graffiti mural as a decorative element. SGC is particularly proud of this project and the exceptional results as shown below.
