Founder Gladys Otto Garrett developed the original recipes in her home kitchen, and those same recipes continue to be used today, featuring real ingredients and traditional cooking methods. Over the years, Garrett has expanded to more than 50 locations worldwide.
Fans across the U.S. can also join in on the celebration by visiting Garrett’s website, where special promotions will rotate throughout the month. These online offers include discounts on Classic Tins, 75-cent shipping and a complimentary bag of the new White Cheddar recipe with select purchases.
