Garrett Popcorn, the Chicago-based gourmet popcorn brand, is continuing its Asian expansion with the opening of a store in the landmark Taipei 101 complex.

The first Garrett Popcorn Taiwan store expands the brands presence in Asia, where it already has stores in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea.  

Garrett says it chose Taipei 101 to set up its first Taiwan store because of its proximity to public transportation and a commercial community and the potential for tourism business.

“The Taiwan marketplace is exciting and vibrant, with an especially rich food culture. We are happy to commit Taipei 101 as the location of choice for our flagship shop in the heart of Taipei,” said Lance Chody, chairman and CEO of Garrett Popcorn Shops.

“We are also excited to bring delicious handmade Garrett Popcorn – made fresh with real ingredients every day – to join the landmark Taipei 101 experience,” he said.

“The launch of Taiwan flagship store in Taipei 101 is essential in our expansion plan in the Asia market,” added Olivia Huynh, VP of Asia-Pacific operations at Garrett Popcorn Shops.

Taiwan is the 10th overseas market for Garrett Popcorn. Outside Asia it has stores in the UAE and Kuwait.
