Home Run Inn Pizza® Teams Up with Garrett Popcorn Shops® to create a Pizza-Seasoned Garrett Popcorn Exclusively at Wrigley Field July 2nd - 7th

Fans will enjoy America's favorite pastime with a tasty twist on Chicago's two favorite treats,
just in time for the patriotic holiday.

CHICAGO, June 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Two legendary Windy City food brands are teaming up this Independence Day holiday for a delicious summer snack. Garrett Popcorn Shops® has partnered with Home Run Inn Pizza® to create a limited time treat: Pizza-Seasoned Garrett Popcorn. The popcorn is available to fans exclusively at select Wrigley Field concession stands during Chicago Cubs games July 2-7.

The recipe combines Home Run Inn's 'Everything But the Pizza' Seasoning – a harmonious spice blend of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and the savory notes of parmesan cheese – with Garrett Stadium Buttery Popcorn. The instant burst of flavor sets off a culinary fireworks display of taste. "We launched our 'Everything But the Pizza' Seasoning last December and it has been a big hit with pizza enthusiasts. It's a versatile seasoning blend that goes beyond the boundaries of traditional pizza seasoning, showcasing the unique flavor of our legendary Home Run Inn Pizza recipe. Adding it to Garrett Popcorn creates a classic Chicago blend," says Gina (Perrino) Bolger, Senior Vice President and fourth-generation family member of Home Run Inn.

While Home Run Inn has served as the city's famous tavern-style thin crust pizza since 1947, Garrett is celebrating 75 years as Chicago's true, original gourmet popcorn. Kris Penn, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships for Garrett Brands, said: "In recent years Garrett has collaborated with other notable brands, and we're delighted to team up with yet another beloved Chicago brand, Home Run Inn, adding their delicious seasoning to create this 'grand slam' of a treat for fans to enjoy!"
