When a group of Philippine investors approached Oliver about opening a Chicago style popcorn shop and returning to his native Philippines he called his friend Rory and the two founded the Chicago Popcorn Shops. Opened in January 2009 the flagship store at SM Mall of Asia  features five basic flavors Butter, Plain, Cheese, Karamel Krisp®, and the Chicago Mix®. Our popcorn is sold in kiddie, single, or double size bags with prices from 20 pesos to 120 pesos. For larger cravings there is the one gallon tin size at 280 pesos. CPS popcorn uses fresh, natural, ingredients coated over air popped premium kernel in the hand crafted small batch tradition of Chicago confectionery popcorn.

Chicago Popcorn Shops is located at SM Mall of Asia on the second floor entertainment wing over the south parking lot.

Chicago style popcorn begins with the best selection of Midwest kernels, then it’s  popped fresh, without fats or oil in our special air popper. The freshly popped corn is then folded into our own special mouth watering caramel recipe or coated with our own blend of zesty cheeses. Our  ingredients are  selected for quality and freshness from the very best suppliers to ensure that our recipe’s unique taste remains true to Chicago tradition.

We have five flavors:

	Midwest Kernels popped in a special hot air popper. That’s it.
	Our caramel is made from a blend of Philippine brown sugars, crafted, in small batches, by hand right in our store.
	We begin with fresh crisp air popped popcorn and pour on just the right amount of butter and a dash of salt. People ask us, “what’s the secret to your butter?” Butter! Unlike most movie popcorn we use real butter. Sure it costs a little more but our customers are worth it.
	Our Cheese popcorn is made daily with a special blend of selected cheeses to give it just enough zest to partner with our buttery warm caramel.
	Our best seller and our pride and joy. We worked long and hard to get just the right caramel and just the right cheese to make the Chicago Mix® a customizable salty-sweet. Whether you like more salt in your sweet or more sweet in your salt, the Chicago Mix® is the flavor for you.
